Glyceollin I, II & III (mixture) is a complex of phytoalexins, which are natural antimicrobial compounds. These are derived from soy plants, particularly when the plant experiences stress conditions such as pathogen attack, UV radiation, or other environmental stressors. The mode of action of glyceollins involves disruption of cellular processes and inhibition of growth and development in invading pathogens. Additionally, glyceollins exhibit various bioactive properties that include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and estrogenic activities, making them significant in research contexts.

Demethylmedicarpin is a phytoalexin, which is a naturally occurring antimicrobial compound. It is typically derived from leguminous plants, such as alfalfa and other species within the Fabaceae family. The plant synthesizes this compound as a defense mechanism in response to pathogen attack, environmental stress, or injury.

Tuberosin is an isoflavonoid compound derived from tuberous plant species. It is primarily sourced from various leguminous plants where it functions as a secondary metabolite. Its mode of action involves the modulation of biological pathways, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, which are being examined for their therapeutic potential.

Pisatin is an isoflavonoid compound, which is a type of phytoalexin commonly found in leguminous plants, particularly in peas. It is synthesized by these plants as a natural defense mechanism. In terms of its mode of action, Pisatin inhibits fungal growth by disrupting the integrity of fungal cell membranes, thereby interfering with the pathogen's cellular processes.
