3,7-Dihydroxyflavone (Resogalangin) is a flavonoid phytoestrogen, which can be isolated from Adenophora species. 3,7-Dihydroxyflavone is a modulator of estrogen receptors and an inhibitor of human progesterone metabolizing enzyme AKR1C1 and fungal 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and a redox inhibitor (IC50=0.6 and 6.0 μM, respectively). 3,7-Dihydroxyflavone is a fluorescent binding substrate for human serum albumin (HSA) with excitation wavelengths of 370 nm (pH 7.4) and 350 nm (pH 3.5), respectively, and emission wavelength of 515 nm.
