CAS 57103-57-8: Glyceollin I

Description:Glyceollin I is a phytoalexin, a type of antimicrobial compound produced by soybeans in response to stress, such as pathogen attack. It is part of a group of compounds known for their potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Glyceollin I is derived from the isoflavonoid pathway and is structurally related to other isoflavones, which are known for their estrogenic activity. This compound exhibits a range of biological activities, including the ability to inhibit certain cancer cell lines and modulate immune responses. Glyceollin I is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, which influences its bioavailability and potential applications in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. Its presence in soy products has garnered interest for its potential role in human health, particularly in relation to hormone-related conditions and chronic diseases. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential.
