Genistein is a naturally occurring isoflavone with a broad range of biological activities. It functions as an inhibitor of tyrosine protein kinases, including EGFR kinase, and also inhibits DNA topoisomerase and α-glucosidase. In neuroscience, Genistein is studied for its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, modulates insulin signaling, and inhibits endocytosis. These actions make Genistein a valuable compound for exploring neurodegenerative disease mechanisms involving oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and aberrant kinase signaling.
