Isoflavone glucosides

Iridin is an isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It is the 7-glucoside of irigenin and can be isolated from several species of irises like orris root, Iris florentina or Iris versicolor, also commonly known as the larger blue flag. It can also be found in Iris kemaonensis.

Puerarin, one of several known isoflavones, is found in a number of plants and herbs, such as the root of the kudzu plant.

Daidzin is a natural organic compound in the class of phytochemicals known as isoflavones. Daidzin can be found in Chinese plant kudzu (Pueraria lobata, Fabaceae) and from soybean leaves.

Ononin is an isoflavone glycoside, the 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside of formononetin, which in turn is the 4'-O-methyl (4'-methoxy) derivative of the parent isoflavone daidzein.

Tectoridin is an isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It is the 7-glucoside of tectorigenin and can be isolated from flowers of Pueraria thunbergiana (Leguminosae).

Genistin is an isoflavone found in a number of dietary plants like soy and kudzu. It was first isolated in 1931 from the 90% methanol extract of a soybean meal, when it was found that hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid produced 1 mole each of genistein and glucose. Chemically it is the 7-O-beta-D-glucoside form of genistein and is the predominant form of the isoflavone naturally occurring in plants. In fact, studies in the 1970s revealed that 99% of the isoflavonoid compounds in soy are present as their glucosides. The glucosides are converted by digestive enzymes in the digestive system to exe

Sophoricoside is an isoflavone genistein glycoside found in the dried ripe fruit of Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. At the time the chemical was discovered and named, the plant was called Sophora japonica L.
