This invention belongs to the field of
biomedical technology, specifically relating to an isoflavone compound, its preparation method, and its application. This compound is derived from *Rotenoporosis capillaris* (a type of
vine).
Derris eriocarpa The stem of *
Derris fusiforme* was analyzed using 1D and 2D
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra (1H NMR, 1C NMR, and high-
resolution mass spectrometry), and its
structural formula is shown below: Chemical name: 5-hydroxy-6-(2"-hydroxy-3"-methylbut-3"-enyl)-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxyisoflavone. Screening using the Sci-finder
database revealed that this compound is a novel isoflavone, isolated for the first time from *
Derris fusiforme*. Lipid-lowering activity experiments showed that at the same
drug concentration (25 μg / mL) as the
positive control, it significantly reduced
intracellular total cholesterol and
triglyceride levels. p <0.001). Therefore, this novel isoflavone compound can be used to prepare drugs, health products, functional foods, or special medical foods for the prevention or treatment of
hypertriglyceridemia,
hyperlipidemia,
obesity, or
metabolic syndrome.
