Inhibitory action on aldose reductase by soybean flavonoids

Abstract

The flavonoids kaempherol, genistein, naringenin, quercetin, morin, rutin and quercitrin isolated from UFV-5 soybean s cultivars were tested as inhibitors of aldose reductase. The best results were obtained by using morin and quercitrin.Os flavonóides kaempherol, genisteína, naringenina, quercetina, morina, rutina, e quercitrina isolados do cultivar de soja UFV-5’ foram testados como inibidores de aldose redutase.
