Formononetin (485-72-3) is a naturally occurring isoflavone isolated from Astragalus and other plants. Increases adipocyte thermogenesis by modulating PPARγ activity.1 Activates AMP-activated protein kinase/β-catenin signaling to inhibit adipogenesis.2 Accelerates wound repair by increasing expression of Egr-1 transcription factor.3 Potential cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic.4 Provides neuroprotection against traumatic brain injury by inhibition of neuroinflammation in a rat model.5
