Pharmacology Action: Genistein binds to and inhibits protein-tyrosine kinase, thereby disrupting signal transduction and inducing cell differentiation. This agent also inhibits topoisomerase-II, leading to DNA fragmentation and apoptosis, and induces G2/ M cell cycle arrest. Genistein exhibits antioxidant, antiangiogenic, and immunosuppressive activities.
