Genistein

Isoflavone

Genistein is a soy-associated isoflavone and phytoestrogen. Purified aglycone, glycosides, soy foods, and mixed isoflavone products have different kinetics.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for genistein is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

  1. Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of synthetic genistein (Bonistein) in healthy volunteers Ullmann U, Metzner J, Frank T, Cohn W, Riegger C · Advances in Therapy, 2005 DOI

    Forty healthy volunteers received 30 to 300 mg of 99.4% synthetic genistein. Exposure was approximately dose-linear by AUC, but Cmax saturated at the highest dose and reported concentrations combine a highly specific…
