isoflavonoids and their glycosides may prove useful as anticancer drugs with added advantage of increased solubility, stability and bioavailability. Among the six compounds tested, genistein most effectively inhibits the growth of B16F10 and AGS cells, with IC50 values of 0.0077 mM and 0.0398 mM, respectively. Unlike derivatives of genistein (genistin and biochanin A), the glycosylated and methylated forms of daidzein (daidzin and formononetin) exhibit more effective growth inhibition than aglycon, daidzein |
