Description

Dihydrodaidzein is a dietary phytoestrogen. Dihydrodaidzein possesses functions including antioxidation, inhibition of DNA oxidative damage, regulation of lipid metabolism and maintenance of intestinal flora stability. Dihydrodaidzein induces apoptosis, regulates immune responses, modulates tumor-related factors, activates the Bmp-2 signaling pathway, inhibits NF-κB and MAPK, and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. Dihydrodaidzein can be used in research related to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and inflammatory diseases[1][2][3][4][5].

Biological activity

In Vitro Dihydrodaidzein, which is obtained as a racemic mixture through the conversion of Daidzein by cell extracts of Slackia isoflavoniconvertens, can be further converted into Equol ((-)-(S)-Equol). Dihydrodaidzein can be absorbed and converted into Equol ((-)-(S)-Equol) by bacteria of the genus Lactococcus. Dihydrodaidzein exhibits high effective permeability in artificial membrane and Caco-2 monolayer assays, indicating its superior intestinal permeability. Dihydrodaidzein promotes osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells via the Bmp2 pathway and inhibits osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 cells by suppressing the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Dihydrodaidzein possesses favorable water solubility (0.14 g/L), exhibits definite solubility in various organic solvents and alkaline solutions, and has a pKa value of 7.71.
