Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Tectorigenin is used as an α-glucosidase inhibitor for managing blood sugar levels, particularly in the treatment of diabetes. It helps in slowing down the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, thus regulating post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Tectorigenin is also used as a potent lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) inhibitor, which can have implications in the treatment of certain medical conditions where LDH levels need to be controlled or modulated.

Isolation and identification of urinary metabolites of tectoridin in rats

Tectoridin is an active isoflavone from the rhizome of Belamcanda chinensis and flower of Pueraria thomsonii Benth, possessing an anti-inflammation action and the protective effect against ethanol-induced intoxication and hepatic injury. The metabolism of tectoridin was investigated in rats. Nine metabolites were isolated by using repeated chromatographic methods and identified by spectroscopic methods including UV, IR, mass spectrometry, and NMR experiments. A new compound was determined as tectorigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronide (M-1), together with eight known compounds identified as irisolidone-7-O-β-D- glucuronide (M-2), tectorigenin-7-O-sulfate (M-3), tectorigenin-4′-O- sulfate (M-4), tectorigenin (M-5), irisolidone (M-6), isotectorigenin (M-7), genistein (M-8), and daidzein (M-9), respectively. The metabolic pathway of tectoridin was proposed, which is important to understand its metabolic fate and disposition in humans.

ISOFLAVONOIDS FROM IRIS CROCEA

A new 12a-hydroxyrotenoid, 9-methoxyirispurinol, and a new isoflavone glucoside, tectorigenin 4'-glucoside, together with tectoridin, tectorigenin, 5,7-dihydroxy-6,2'-dimethoxyisoflavone and alipinone were isolated from the rhizomes of Iris crocea.The structures of known and new compounds were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.

Cytoprotective effect of tectorigenin, a metabolite formed by transformation of tectoridin by intestinal microflora, on oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide

In the present study, the antioxidative properties of tectorigenin, a metabolite formed by transformation of tectoridin by intestinal microflora, were investigated. Tectorigenin was found to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species, and 1,1-diphenyl

Fluorescence spectroscopy and docking study in two flavonoids, isolated tectoridin and its aglycone tectorigenin, interacting with human serum albumin: A comparison study

Two flavonoids, tectoridin (TD) isolated from rhizomes of Iris tectorum and hydrolyzed aglycone tectorigenin (TG) were prepared and characterized to compare their different interaction ability with human serum albumin (HSA). Based on the results, the affi

Isolation and identification of urinary metabolites of kakkalide in rats

Kakkalide is a major isoflavonoid from the flowers of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, possessing the protective effect against ethanol-induced intoxication and hepatic injury. The metabolism of kakkalide was investigated in rats. Thirteen metabolites were isolated by using solvent extraction and repeated chromatographic methods and identified by using spectroscopic methods including UV, IR, mass spectrometry, NMR, and circular dichroism experiments. Four new compounds were identified as irisolidone-7-Oglucuronide (M-1), tectorigenin-7-O-sulfate (M-2), tectorigenin-4′-O-sulfate (M-3), and biochanin A-6-O-sulfate (M-4) together with nine known compounds identified as irisolidone (M-5), tectorigenin (M-6), tectoridin (M-7), 5,7-dihydroxy-8, 4′-dimethoxyisoflavone (M-8), isotectorigenin (M-9), biochanin A (M-10), genistein (M-11), daidzein (M-12), and equol (M-13). The metabolic pathway of kakkalide was proposed, which is important to understand its metabolic fate and disposition in humans. Copyright

Efficient method for the synthesis of tectorigenin

Tectorigenin, isolated from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis, shows a wide variety of biological activities. The interest in its biological activities has been matched by a corresponding interest in its synthesis. We herein reported a convenient synth

Polyphenols based on isoflavones as inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori urease

Twenty polyphenols were synthesized and evaluated for their effect on Helicobacter pylori urease. Among these compounds, 4-(p-hydroxyphenethyl)pyrogallol (15) (IC50 = 0.03 mM) and 7,8,4′-trihydroxyisoflavone (19) (IC50 = 0.14 mM) showed potent inhibitory activities, and inhibited Helicobacter pylori urease in a time-dependent manner. The structure-activity relationship of these polyphenols revealed: the two ortho hydroxyl groups were essential for inhibitory activity of polyphenol. When the C-ring of isoflavone was broken, the inhibitory activity markedly decreased. As for deoxybenzoin, the carboxyl group was clearly detrimental.

Anti-inflammatory mechanisms of isoflavone metabolites in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial cells

The microglial activation plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases by producing several proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). We found that three types of isoflavones and their metabolites that are transformed by the human intestin
