Calycosin

Calycosin is an O-methylated isoflavone. It can be isolated from Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongholicus and Trifolium pratense L. (red clover).

Isoflavone 3′-hydroxylase uses formononetin, NADPH, H+ and O2 to produce calycosin, NADP+ and H2O.

Calycosin has been shown to possess anti-cancer properties in vitro, and extracts of Astragalus membranaceus have been used to complement chemotherapy regimes in treatment of cancer in China.
