Isoflavonoids in non-leguminous families: an update.
Conclusions: The cytotoxicity of the studied
isoflavonoids and especially the pterocarpan 3 deserve more detailed exploration in the future to develop novel anticancer drugs against sensitive and otherwise drug-resistant phenotypes.

[60.] Slavin JL, Karr SC, Hutchins MA and JW Lampe Influence of soybean processing, habitual diet, and soy dose on urinary
isoflavonoid excretion.
Isoflavonoid compounds from red clover (Trifolium pretense) protect from inflammation and immune suppression induced by UV radiation.
Isoflavonoid levels in spot urine are associated with frequency of dietary soy intake in a population-based sample of middle-aged and older Chinese in Singapore.
(34) However, the mechanism is not clear and it cannot be assumed that sage alone was the effective component because alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a significant source of the
isoflavonoid, coumestrol, which could have contributed to the observed efficacy.
