Daidzein From Macrotyloma: Epigenetic Leukemia Therapy
Researchers have identified daidzein, an isoflavone extracted from the legume Macrotyloma, as a potent epigenetic agent against leukemia. In cellular models, daidzein inhibits DNA methyltransferases, leading to demethylation and re‑activation of key tumor‑suppressor genes. Pre‑clinical studies demonstrate selective cytotoxicity toward acute myeloid leukemia cells and enhanced efficacy when combined with standard chemotherapies. The findings suggest a natural‑product‑based approach could complement existing leukemia treatments.
