Formononetin is an O-methylated isoflavone. It is found in a number of plants and herbs like the red clover[1].
Metabolism
The enzyme 4'-methoxyisoflavone 2'-hydroxylase uses formononetin, NADPH, H+, and O2 to produce 2'-hydroxyformononetin, NADP+ and H2O.
The enzyme Isoflavone 3'-hydroxylase uses formononetin, NADPH, H+, and O2 to produce calycosin (3'-hydroxyformononetin), NADP+ and H2O.
Glycosides
Ononin is the 7-O-glucoside of formononetin.
