Therapeutic Potential of Genistein and its Derivatives as a Target for Anticancer Agents

Abstract: Genistein is a natural isoflavone and a phytoestrogen known to possess broad range of pharmacological properties specifically explored for anticancer effects. The compound is under clinical trials for different types of cancer treatment. Structural modification of genistein has been done to prepare analogs with improved anticancer potential and pharmaceutical properties. Also, novel formulations of genistein have been developed to further improve water solubility and bioavailability for better clinical effecti… Show more

“…Genistein has a diphenol structure ( Figure 1 ) with the molecular formula C 15 H 10 O 5 and resembles human endogenous estrogen [ 14 , 16 ]. There is evidence that genistein has antioxidant [ 17 ], anti-inflammatory [ 18 ], antibacterial [ 19 ], antiviral [ 20 , 21 ], antidiabetic [ 22 , 23 ], neuroprotective [ 24 , 25 ], and anti-cancer [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] effects. Additionally, in male mice, genistein increased sperm motility and number, suggesting it has beneficial effects in the reproductive system [ 29 ].…”
