Genistein

Inhibits protein tyrosine kinases, including autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (IC50=2.6µM)


The inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP and non-competitive with respect to the phosphate acceptor. Has only a trivial effect on the activity of PKA and PKC (IC50>350µM). Inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces tumor cell differentiation. Produces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in Jurkat T-leukemia cells. However, it prevents anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody-induced thymic apoptosis. Also inhibits topoisomerase II activity in vitro.
