Abstract
Genistein is a natural compound belonging to the chemical class of isoflavone. This molecule is present in the significant portion of our diet in the form of Soy food products. This is the most extensively studied isoflavone due to its significance affinity towards targets of potential pharmacological and neutraceutical benefits. The potential pharmacological applications of this molecule have been found as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, antiosteoporosis, and cardio protective agent. This review provides comprehensive coverage of the chemistry, pharmacology, toxicity and extraction of genistein.

Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
