Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found 8 isoflavone glucosides (compound 1 - 8) in Apios americana Medik, and examined their biological activities. We found compound 2 and 5 possess moderate androgen antagonic activities.
Isoflavone glucosides were reported to be hydrolysed to the corresponding aglycones by b-glucosidase in intestine. Thus, we prepared the aglycones of compounds 1 - 8 (compound 9 - 12) by enzymatic (b-glucosidase) digestion, and examined androgenic and estrogenic activities of compound 9 - 12. As the result, we found compound 10 possess potent estrogen agonistic activity (the potency was about half of genisten).
Next, we checked loss of compound 5 by heat cooking processes (boiled, fryed, steamed, and microwave cooked). Since more than 2/3 of compound 5 was lossed in any cooking processes, isoflavone compounds were proved to be easily broken by heat treatment.
