Glycinol is a pterocarpan, a type of natural phenol. It is a phytoalexin found in the soybean (Glycine max). It is formed by the cyclisation of daidzein. It has antiestrogenic activities.[1][2]
It can be synthethised chemically and possesses two chiral centers.[3]
Glycinol is the direct precursor of glyceollins through the action of a prenyltransferase.
Experiments show that the 6a oxygen of glycinol is derived from molecular oxygen.[4]
