Metabolite Identification
Common NameDaidzein
DescriptionDaidzein, also known as daidzeol or isoaurostatin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isoflavones. These are polycyclic compounds containing a 2-isoflavene skeleton which bears a ketone group at the C4 carbon atom. Thus, daidzein is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Daidzein exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Daidzein is a potentially toxic compound.
