Natural Product 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. Glycitein is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Glycitein is found in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Psoralea corylifolia , Acca sellowiana, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, Pueraria montana, Sarcolobus globosus, Trifolium repens and Wisteria brachybotrys. Glycitein was first documented in 2002 (PMID: 12011578). Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Glycitein (PMID: 16248547).
