Application

7-Isopropoxy-3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (Ipriflavone) has been used as a model drug in a study to functionalize the mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG). Study suggested that since ipriflavone is a hydrophobic anti-osteoporotic drug, it easily attaches to the surface of MBG and results in long-term drug delivery.

General description

7-Isopropoxy-3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (Ipriflavone), a synthetic flavonoid, is reported to stimulate the activity of osteoblasts. It is reported to promote the deposition of calcium and the formation of mineralized nodules by newborn rat calvarial osteoblast-like (ROB) cells as well as the activity of alkaline phosphatase. Ipriflavone, an isoflavone derivative, is a new drug used to decrease bone loss in osteoporosis.
