“…The poor solubility of isoflavones lead to inefficient bioavailability and slow metabolism in the body 3,4. A series of water soluble derivatives of isoflavones, such as sodium 5,7‐dihydroxy‐4′,6‐dimethoxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate,5 sodium 4′,7‐dihydroxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate,6 sodium 7‐methoxy‐4′‐hydroxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate,7 and sodium 4′,7‐dimethoxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate has been synthesized 8. Additionally, the isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate crystal structures of [Ba(C 15 H 9 O 7 S) 2 ] n ,9 [Ni(H 2 O) 6 ](C 17 H 13 O 4 SO 3 ) 2 · 8H 2 O,10 [Ba(H 2 O) 4 (C 15 H 9 O 4 SO 3 ) 2 ] · 4H 2 O, [Ba(H 2 O) 4 (C 16 H 11 O 4 SO 3 ) 2 ] · 8H 2 O, [Ba(H 2 O) 7 ](C 17 H 13 O 5 SO 3 ) 2 · 2H 2 O and [Ba(H 2 O) 7 (C 17 H 13 O 6 SO 3 )](C 17 H 13 O 6 SO 3 ) · 3H 2 O,11 [ M (H 2 O) 6 (C 17 H 12 O 6 BrSO 3 ) 2 ] · H 2 O, ( M = Co, Zn, Fe, Ni, Mg, Cd)12 were reported.…”
