Formononetin, an isoflavone, derived from Astragalus membranaceus, possesses the potential to reduce obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Formononetin displays estrogenic properties and induces angiogenesis activities. It regulates adipocyte thermogenesis as a partial PPARγ agonist and produces proangiogenesis effects through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-enhanced ROCK-II signaling pathways, by direct binding to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of ERα. Besides, was shown, that formononetin inhibits HMGB1 release by decreasing HMGB1 acetylation via upregulating SIRT1 in a PPARδ-dependent manner and the identification of this process may help to treat inflammation-related disorders.

Sample Use Guides

The mice were fed on a high fat diet (D12492, Research Diets) for 8 weeks to become obese, and then randomly divided into two groups and gavaged for the following 8 weeks with either Astragalus membranaceus water extract (3.3g/kg) or formononetin (50mg/kg) and vehicle (control) on a high fat diet.
Route of Administration: Oral
Formononetin activated expression of the estrogen-responsive reporter gene in human breast cell line MCF-7 in a concentration-dependent manner (0.5-500 microM), and this activation was inhibited by estrogen antagonist (ICI 182780 at 100 nM).
