      • Regulates sebum production and improves skin elasticity in creams for mature or hormonally imbalanced skin.
    • Hair Loss Prevention:
      • Inhibits 5α-reductase activity (similar to minoxidil), used in shampoos and scalp serums for androgenetic alopecia.

    4. Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology

    • Clinical Research:
      • Investigated for treating breast cancer (anti-proliferative effects in ER-positive cells), metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases.
    • Drug Development:
      • Serves as a lead compound for synthesizing non-hormonal therapies for gynecological disorders.

    5. Animal Health & Agriculture

    • Veterinary Medicine:
      • Improves reproductive performance in livestock (e.g., pigs, sheep) by regulating estrogen-like activity.
    • Aquaculture Feed Additive:
      • Enhances growth and stress resistance in fish by mimicking natural steroid hormones.

    Detection Methods

    • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):
      • Uses a C18 column (4.6×250mm, 5μm) with mobile phase acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid (35:65 v/v), detected at 260 nm.
    • Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS):
      • Confirms molecular structure (m/z 270.0 for [M-H]⁻ ion) and differentiates from other isoflavones (e.g., formononetin).
    • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR):
      • Provides structural validation via ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra for pharmaceutical-grade samples.

    Source & Advantages

    • Natural Source: Extracted from Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi), Trifolium pratense (red clover), or soybeans via ethanol/water extraction.
    • Bioavailability Enhancement: Water-soluble β-cyclodextrin complexes improve oral absorption by 2-3 fold compared to pure powder.

    Regulatory Notes

    • GRAS Status: Not yet approved in the US; commonly marketed as a botanical extract under DSHEA regulations.
    • China Pharmacopoeia: Listed as a key active ingredient in Astragalus-based TCM formulations.
