Barbigerone is one of a few pyranoisoflavones among several groups of isoflavones. It was first isolated from the seed of a leguminous plant Tephrosia barbigera; hence the name "barbigerone". [1] Members of the genus Millettia are now known to be rich in barbigerone, including M. dielsiena, [2] M. ferruginea, [3] M. usaramensis, [4] and M. pachycarpa . [5] It has also been isolated from the medicinal plant Sarcolobus globosus . [6] Barbigerone from S. globosus is validated to have significant antioxidant property. [7] Barbigerone exhibits profound antiplasmodial activity against the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum . [8] It is also demonstrated that it has anti-cancer potential as it causes apoptosis of murine lung-cancer cells. [9]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Prenylflavonoid</span>

Prenylated flavonoids or prenylflavonoids are a sub-class of flavonoids. They are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. Some are known to have phytoestrogenic or antioxidant properties. They are given in the list of adaptogens in herbalism. Chemically they have a prenyl group attached to their flavonoid backbone. It is usually assumed that the addition of hydrophobic prenyl groups facilitate attachment to cell membranes. Prenylation may increase the potential activity of its original flavonoid.
