Biochanin A, an isoflavone, is a natural plant phytoestrogen which has been reported to be an antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory agent. Studies show that this compound inhibits iNOS expression and lipopolysacharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production in macrophages. Additionally, Biochanin A displays the ability to block phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha and p38 MAPK, which prevents NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, Biochanin A has been observed to suppress IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha production.
