Bioactivity Biochanin A is a naturally occurring fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor, which inhibits FAAH with IC50s of 1.8, 1.4 and 2.4 μM for mouse, rat, and human FAAH, respectively.
Invitro Biochanin A inhibits the hydrolysis of 0.5 µM AEA by mouse, rat and human FAAH with IC50 s of 1.8, 1.4 and 2.4 µM respectively. FAAH is inhibited by Biochanin A with a pIC50 value of 6.21±0.02, corresponding to an IC50 value of 0.62 µM. Biochanin A produces significant inhibition of the URB597-sensitive tritium retention at high nanomolar-low micromolar concentrations. Experiments are run with human FAAH and 0.5 µM [3H]AEA with assay conditions giving these higher utilization rates, the activity is still inhibited by Biochanin A, Genistein, Formononetin and Daidzein in the low micromolar range (IC50s of 6.0, 8.4, 12 and 30 µM, respectively)[1].
