(±)-Medicarpin 是一种异黄酮，可以从具有各种生物学效应的几种药用植物中分离出来，包括作为植物抗毒素的槐花 (Sophora japonica)，具有抗真菌特性的 Zollernia paraensis 和 Platymiscium yucatamun，具有细胞毒性作用的 Machaerium aristulatum，Platymiscium floribundum 和巴西红蜂胶，以及作为杀幼虫剂的 Dalbergia oliveri。(±)-Medicarpin 有效抑制破骨细胞生成，防止雌激素缺乏性骨质流失，但不影响子宫雌激素。 它还通过雌激素受体 (ER) β 介导的成骨作用的成骨细胞分化促进骨愈合并增加骨量。

Background:

(±)-Medicarpin is a pterocarpan, a type of isoflavonoid. (±)-Medicarpin has been isolated from several medicinal plant species with various biological effects, including Sophora japonica as a phytoalexin, Zollernia paraensis and Platymiscium yucatamun with antifungal properties, Machaerium aristulatum, Platymiscium floribundum, and Brazilian red propolis with cytotoxic effects, and Dalbergia oliveri as a larvicidal compound. (±)-Medicarpin potently inhibits osteoclastogenesis and prevents estrogen-deficient bone loss but does not display uterine estrogenicity. It also promotes bone healing and increases bone mass by osteoblast differentiation with estrogen receptor (ER) β-mediated osteogenic action[1]. ERβ
