CAS 4737-26-2

Isoflavan

Description:

Isoflavan, with the CAS number 4737-26-2, is a type of isoflavonoid, which is a subclass of flavonoids known for their phenolic structure. Isoflavans are primarily derived from plants, particularly legumes, and exhibit a range of biological activities. Characteristically, isoflavans possess a three-ring structure, which includes two aromatic rings and a heterocyclic ring, contributing to their antioxidant properties. They are known for their potential health benefits, including estrogenic activity, which can influence hormonal balance and may have implications in conditions such as menopause and osteoporosis. Isoflavan can also exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, making it a subject of interest in nutritional and pharmaceutical research. In terms of solubility, isoflavans are generally soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water. Their stability can be affected by factors such as light and pH, which is important for their application in food and health products. Overall, isoflavans like Isoflavan are valuable compounds in both dietary and therapeutic contexts.
