The molecule is a hydroxyisoflavone that is genistein in which the hydroxy group at position 7 is replaced by a methoxy group. It has a role as a metabolite, an EC 1.3.1.22 [3-oxo-5alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase (NADP(+))] inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent and an EC 1.2.1.3 [aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD(+))] inhibitor. It is a hydroxyisoflavone and a member of 7-methoxyisoflavones. It derives from a genistein. It is a conjugate acid of a prunetin-5-olate.
