Product Description
(R)-Isomucronulatol is a flavonoid isolated from the seeds of sphaerophysa salsula.
(R)-Isomucronulatol is a naturally occurring isoflavanoid compound found in several leguminous plants, including species of Astragalus and Sophora. It has the molecular formula C₁₇H₁₈O₅ and a molecular weight of 302.32 g/mol. This chiral isoflavan possesses a 3R-configuration and is structurally related to isoflavones like daidzein. It exhibits moderate antioxidant activity and has been studied for potential phytoestrogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. In traditional medicine, plants containing this compound are used for various health conditions, and it is now employed as a reference standard in phytochemical analysis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) with weak affinity; also may interact with antioxidant response elements via Nrf2 activation. However, specific high-affinity targets have not been fully characterized. It likely acts as a modulator of cellular redox status and may influence hormone-sensitive pathways.
ln Vitro
(R)-Isomucronulatol shows concentration-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀ ~ 50-80 µM) and inhibits lipid peroxidation in linoleic acid models. In cell-free systems, it also reduces ferric ions (FRAP assay) and exhibits moderate ABTS radical cation scavenging. It does not show significant cytotoxicity in normal cells at concentrations up to 100 µM, but may weakly stimulate proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells at low doses, indicating potential estrogenic activity.
ln Vivo
In vivo data are scarce; however, related isoflavonoids have shown estrogenic effects in ovariectomized rats. No specific animal studies for (R)-isomucronulatol are published. It is presumed to be metabolized by gut microbiota similar to other isoflavans, producing active metabolites that may exert systemic effects. Further research is needed to establish its in vivo efficacy and safety.
Enzyme Assay
DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays are conducted in 96-well plates; the compound is dissolved in methanol or DMSO and mixed with radicals; absorbance is measured at 517 nm or 734 nm, respectively, after 30 minutes. FRAP assay measures ferric reducing power at 593 nm. For estrogen receptor binding, competitive displacement of [³H]estradiol using recombinant ERα/ERβ is performed with Scatchard analysis to determine relative binding affinity.
Cell Assay
Estrogen-sensitive MCF-7 breast cancer cells are cultured in phenol red-free medium with charcoal-stripped serum. Cells are treated with (R)-isomucronulatol (0.1-100 µM) for 48-72 hours, and proliferation is assessed by MTT or BrdU incorporation. For antioxidant studies, cells are pre-treated with the compound then exposed to H₂O₂ (200 µM) for 1 hour; intracellular ROS is measured by DCFH-DA fluorescence. Cytotoxicity is evaluated in HepG2 or normal fibroblast cell lines.
Animal Protocol
No specific animal models are reported. However, based on its isoflavan structure, potential studies could include ovariectomized rat models to assess estrogenic effects on bone density and uterine weight, or high-fat diet mice to evaluate metabolic benefits. Dosing would be oral gavage (10-50 mg/kg/day) for 4-8 weeks, with endpoints including serum lipid profiles, antioxidant enzyme activities, and histopathology.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption is likely moderate after oral administration due to glycoside metabolism; however, as an aglycone, it may be absorbed in the small intestine. It is subject to phase II metabolism (sulfation and glucuronidation) and microbial degradation in colon. Half-life and bioavailability are unknown but expected to be similar to other isoflavans (~2-4 hours). Plasma protein binding is moderate.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Based on its natural origin and lack of reported adverse effects, (R)-isomucronulatol is presumed to have low acute toxicity. No LD₅₀ values are available. In cell culture, it does not induce significant cytotoxicity up to 100 µM. Chronic toxicity studies have not been conducted, but typical isoflavonoids are well-tolerated at dietary intake levels. Standard laboratory precautions are sufficient for handling.

(R)-Isomucronulatol is a minor phytochemical used primarily as an analytical reference standard for quality control of herbal extracts. It is not intended for pharmaceutical development but serves as a research tool for studying phytoestrogen mechanisms, antioxidant pathways, and structure-activity relationships among isoflavans. Its occurrence in traditional medicinal plants warrants further investigation into potential health benefits.
