Isobavachin(CAT:R035861) is a prenylated flavonoid isolated from Psoralea corylifolia (also known as Babchi), a plant widely used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. It has gained research interest for its diverse pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer effects. Studies show that Isobavachin modulates estrogen receptors, supports bone formation, and promotes osteoblast differentiation, making it a promising candidate for osteoporosis research. Additionally, it exhibits protective effects on neuronal cells, suggesting potential in neurodegenerative disease studies. With its unique prenylated structure and broad bioactivity, Isobavachin represents a valuable natural compound for therapeutic exploration in bone health, cancer, and neurological disorders.
