Uses
Pierreione B is a pyranoisoflavone, that can be isolated from the leaves and twigs of Antheroporum pierrei. Pierreione B demonstrates solid tumor selectivity with minimal cytotoxicity[1].
Definition
ChEBI: Pierreione B is a methoxyisoflavone that is isoflavone substituted by a methoxy group at position 3', a 2R,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutoxyl group at position 4' and a dimethylpyran ring fused across positions 6 and 7. Isolated from Antheroporum pierrei, it exhibits antineoplastic activity. It has a role as a metabolite, a plant metabolite and an antineoplastic agent.
