which possess highest estrogenic activity among the known phyto-estrogens due to structural similarity to estradiol, Miroestrol was actually the first compound isolated from this plant by a group of German chemists in 1940, but the plant had been mistakenly reported then as\u00a0Butea Superba<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. It was later on classified as a new plant called\u00a0Pueraria Mirifica<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Airy Shaw et Suvatabhandu.<\/p> The isolation and identification of deoxymiroestrol from the root of\u00a0Pueraria Mirifica<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has just been reported in the February 2000 issue of the Journal of Natural Products, The authors proposed that since deoxymiroestrol is easily oxidized to miroestrol, deoxymiroestrol, not the previously reported miroestrol, is more likely to be the actual chemical constituent of\u00a0Pueraria Mirifica.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/em>However, it is very likely that the two phyto-estrogens coexist in the root of this plant. As shown below, the chemical structures of two compounds are very similar to that of estradiol, the main human estrogen.<\/p> In addition to miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol,\u00a0Pueraria Mirifica<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0also contains other chemicals that belong to isoflavones and Coumestan groups of phyto-estrogens, e.g., Genistein, Daidzein, Daidzin, Genistin, and Coumestrol that are usually found in soybeans\u00a0(Table)<\/strong>. However, the estrogenic activity of Miroestrol and Deoxymiroestrol is much more potent than that of soy isoflavones.<\/p>\n\n
