The aminomethylation of hydroxylated isoflavones with 2-aminoethanol, 3-amino-1-propanol, 4-amino-1-butanol, and 5-amino-1-pentanol in the presence of excess formaldehyde led principally to 9-(2-hydroalkyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]-oxazin-4-ones 4 and/or the tautomeric 7-hydroxy-8-(1,3-oxazepan-3-ylmethyl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 5. The ratio of these tautomers was dependent on solvent polarity, electronic effects of aryl substituents in the isoflavone and the structure of the amino alcohol. NMR studies confirmed the interconversion of tautomeric forms.

4',5,6,7-tetrahydoxyisoflavone (6-hydroxygenistein, 6-OHG) is a hydroxylated derivative of genistein with excellent antioxidant activity, but whether 6-OHG can protect hypoxia-induced damage is unclear. The objective of current study was to evaluate the protective effect and underling mechanism of 6-OHG against hypoxia-induced injury via network pharmacology and cellular experiments. 6-OHG-related and hypoxia injury-related targets were screened by public databases.

Article Synopsis
- Isoflavones are polyphenols that can create complexes with starch, which helps slow down starch digestion.
- Researchers studied different isoflavones (daidzein, genistein, biochanin A, genistin, and puerarin) to understand how their structures affect starch interactions.
- Findings indicated that daidzein and genistein for more effective complexes with starch, likely due to their smaller size and fewer hydroxyl groups, emphasizing the importance of these structural features in determining starch digestibility.
Biotransformation analysis of daidzin in vitro based on fecal bacteria and probiotics.

Daidzin, as one of isoflavone glycosides, has been reported to have multiple activities with few absorbed into body. However, the metabolic behavior of daidzin by intestinal flora has not been researched, that this defect severely constrains its applications. In this study, daidzin and its metabolites were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by HPLC and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) in the fermentation system for daidzin and fecal bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on comparing the activity and substrate selectivity of three 4-Hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase (HpaB) enzymes from different bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaHpaB), Escherichia coli (EcHpaB), and Rhodococcus opacus (RoHpaB) for potential polyphenol synthesis.
- PaHpaB shows superior catalytic activity towards bulky compounds like resveratrol and naringenin compared to EcHpaB, and uniquely hydroxylates daidzein at the 6-position, while RoHpaB hydroxylates it at the 3'-position.
