Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycitein
DescriptionGlycitein 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, glycitein is considered to be a flavonoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glycitein.
