Product Information

• Name: Pterocarpan
• Synonyms: (-)-PterocarpanChromanocoumarane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pterocarpan is a natural phytochemical compound, which is a type of isoflavonoid derived from plants, particularly leguminous species. These compounds are part of the plant’s secondary metabolite arsenal, produced as a response to environmental stressors or pathogenic attacks. The mode of action of pterocarpans involves interaction with microbial cell membranes, leading to disruption and inhibition of pathogen growth, and the scavenging of free radicals, thereby exerting antioxidant effects.
