Over the last decade, several studies demonstrated that prenylation of flavonoids enhances various biological activities as compared to the respective nonprenylated compounds. In line with this, the natural prenylated isoflavonoid alpinumisoflavone (AIF) has been explored for a number of biological and pharmacological effects (therapeutic potential). In this review, we summarize the current information on health-promoting properties of AIF. Reported data evidenced that AIF has a multitherapeutic potential with antiosteoporotic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, estrogenic and antiestrogenic, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties. However, research on these aspects of AIF is not sufficient and needs to be reevaluated using more appropriate methods and methodology. Further series of studies are needed to confirm these pharmacological effects, and this review should lay the basis for the design of respective investigations. Overall, despite the drawbacks of studies recorded, AIF exhibits a potential as drug candidate.
在过去十年中,多项研究表明,与各自的非异戊烯化化合物相比,黄酮类化合物的异戊烯化增强了各种生物活性。与此一致的是,天然异戊烯化异黄酮高山槐异黄酮(AIF)已被探索具有多种生物学和药理作用(治疗潜力)。在本综述中,我们总结了关于AIF促进健康特性的当前信息。报道的数据证明,AIF具有多种治疗潜力,具有抗骨质疏松、抗氧化和抗炎、抗菌、抗癌、雌激素和抗雌激素、抗糖尿病和神经保护特性。然而,关于AIF这些方面的研究并不充分,需要使用更合适的方法和方法论进行重新评估。需要进一步的系列研究来证实这些药理作用,本综述应为各自研究的设计奠定基础。总体而言,尽管记录的研究存在缺陷,但AIF具有作为候选药物的潜力。
