Orobol is one of the major soy isoflavones and has various pharmacological activities, including anti-skin-aging and anti-obesity effects. Orobol inhibits CK1ε, VEGFR2, MAP4K5, MNK1, MUSK, TOPK, and TNIK (IC50=1.24-4.45 μM). Orobol also inhibits PI3K isoforms (IC50=3.46-5.27 μM for PI3K α/β/γ/K/δ)[1][2].
ChEBI: Orobol is a member of the class of 7-hydroxyisoflavones which consists of isoflavone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 5, 7, 3' and 4'.
