Formononetin

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Formononetin has been used as a reference standard for the determination of formononetin in:Cow, goat, sheep and human milk samples by magnetic-micro-dispersive solid-phase extraction (m-μ-dSPE) combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-ESI-MS/MS) operating under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of detection.Dairy products by quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction procedure and UHPLC-QqQ-ESI-MS/MS with MRM mode of detection.It may be used as a reference standard for the determination of formononetin in:Natural products by turbulent flow chromatography liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (TFC LC-HRMS).Soy-drinks by gas chromatography combined with MS/MS operating on electron ionization (EI) mode.Rat plasma by UHPLC-QqQ-ESI-MS/MS.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Isoflavone found in red clover. Effective against Giardia lamblia infection, at least partially by inducing detachment of trophozoites from intestinal mucosa.

General description

Formononetin belongs to the isoflavones class of polyphenols.
