Coumestrol is a phytoestrogen found in various plant foods. Increasing evidence ascertained its robust anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative properties likewise ability to mitigate insulin resistance. Thus, it may be a potential medicine in the treatment of many metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Naturally occurring coumestans are known as a collection of plant-derived polycyclic aromatic secondary metabolites which are characterized by the presence of an oxygen heterocyclic four-ring system comprising a coumarin moiety and a benzofuran moiety sharing a C˭C bond. Recently, there is an increasing attention in excavating the medicinal potential of coumestans, particularly coumestrol, wedelolactone, psoralidin and glycyrol, in a variety of diseases. This review is a comprehensive inventory of the chemical structures of coumestans isolated from various plant sources during the period of 1956-2020, together with their reported biological activities.

Phoma black stem and leaf spot disease of annual spp., caused by , not only can devastate forage and seed yield but can reduce herbage quality by inducing production of phytoestrogens (particularly coumestrol and 4'-O-methylcoumestrol), which can also reduce the ovulation rates of animals grazing infected forage. We determined the consequent phytoestrogen levels on three different annual species/cultivars ( cultivar Cyprus, var.

Coumestrol is a phytoestrogen widely known for its anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, it gets a lot of attention as a potential agent in the nutritional therapy of diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In our study, we evaluated whether coumestrol affects insulin resistance development via the sphingolipid signaling pathway in primary rat hepatocytes.
