Description of Formononetin
Formononetin is an O-methylated isoflavone that can be found in many herbs such as red clover. It is usually used as a blood enhancer and to improve blood microcirculation in complementary and alternative medicine. It promotes endothelial repair and wound healing in a process involving the over-expression of Egr-1 transcription factor through the regulation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways.
Formononetin, present in soybean, Astragalus membranaceus, Pycnanthus angolensis, Sophora flavescens, and Trifolium pratense, has shown anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant effects.
