Abstract: Formononetin is an isoflavone phytoestrogen mainly existing in leguminous plants such as Trifolium pretense, Spatholobus suberectus, etc. Studies have proved that formononetin has good anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, antidepressant, anxiolytic and other pharmacological effects. This paper summarizes the pharmacological action and molecular mechanism of formononetin, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of formononetin.
