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. More recent literature supports that glycinol has potent phytoestrogenic activity. The so-called osteogenesis that is causes is postulated to be a preventative factor for osteoporosis. It can be synthethised chemically and possesses two chiral centers. 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.
