Description:
Genistein, a phytoestrogen found in soy products, is a highly specific inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) which blocks the mitogenic effect mediated by EGF on NIH-3T3 cells with IC50 of 12μM or by insulin with IC50 of 19 μM. Genistein is developed to be an antitumor agent. Genistein has antioxidant effect, it can be used in cosmetics material. It is a plant polyphenol that can inhibit tyrosinase, block melanin synthesis, reduce skin pigment intensity, absorb UV, prevent photoaging, reduce sun damage and age spot formation, and whiten and lighten spots. It also has the anti-glycation and antibacterial effect, can effectively improve skin tone and skin texture, prevent the generation of age spots, remove red bloodlines, and improve skin blood microcirculation.
