4',7-Dimethoxyisoflavone is a kind of isoflavonoids with antifungal activity against some plant pathogenic fungi tested in vitro. It also showed inhibitory effects on rat prostate testosterone 5alpha-reductase.
4',7-Dimethoxyisoflavone is isolated from the leaves of Albizzia lebbeck, which shows antifungal activity. 4',7-Dimethoxyisoflavone shows antifungal activity against some plant pathogenic fungi tested in vitro, and the sensitivity of different fungi to this chemical varied considerably[2]. Daidzein, genistein, biochanin A, formononetin, 3-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl) -7-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (DCHC), 7-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (7-C), 4'7-dimethoxyisoflavone (4',7-D), and 5,7,4'-trimethoxyisoflavone (5,7,4'-T) increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC)-1alpha expression and resulted in mitochondrial biogenesis as indicated by increased expression of ATP synthase beta and ND6, and 1.5-fold increases in respiration and ATP in RPTC (renal proximal tubular cell)[3]. 4',7-dimethoxyisoflavone showed lower inhibitory effects for inhibitory effects on rat prostate testosterone 5α-reductase[4].
