Message: [QUOTE="greenmedinfo, post: 1800"] PMID: Am J Chin Med. 2021 ;49(7):1623-1643. Epub 2021 Sep 16. PMID: 34530697 Abstract Title: Biochanin A from Chinese Medicine: An Isoflavone with Diverse Pharmacological Properties. Abstract: Biochanin A (BCA) is a dietary isoflavone, isolated from the leaves and stems ofL and many other herbs of Chinese medicine. Recent findings indicated BCA as a promising drug candidate with diverse bioactive effects. On the purpose of evaluating the possibility of BCA in clinical application, this review is trying to provide a comprehensive summary of the pharmacological actions of BCA. The publications collected from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley databases were summarized for the last 10 years. Then, the potential therapeutic use of BCA on the treatment of various diseases was discussed according to its pharmacological properties, namely, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects as well as neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and osteoprotective effects. BCA might mainly regulate the MAPK, PI3K, NRF2, and NF-kB pathways, respectively, to exert its bioactive effects. However, the limited definitive targets, poor biological availability, and insufficient safety evaluation might block the clinical application of BCA. This review may provide new insights for the development of BCA in the application of related diseases.
