Isoflavonoid

3-phenylchromen-4-one
3-phenylchroman (isoflavan) backbone of the isoflavanes

Isoflavonoids are a class of flavonoid phenolic compounds, many of which are biologically active. Isoflavonoids and their derivatives are sometimes referred to as phytoestrogens, as many isoflavonoid compounds have biological effects via the estrogen receptor.

Medically, isoflavonoids and related compounds have been used in many dietary supplements but the medical and scientific community[who?] is generally skeptical of their use. Recently, some natural isoflavonoids have been identified as toxins, including biliatresone which may cause biliary atresia when infants are exposed to the plant product.[1]

The isoflavonoid group is broad, and includes many structurally similar groups, including:

Isoflavonoids are derived from the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway via liquiritigenin or naringenin.[3]

Chemical makeup

While flavonoids (in the narrow sense) have the 2-phenylchromen-4-one backbone, isoflavonoids have the 3-phenylchromen-4-one backbone with no hydroxyl group substitution at position 2 (case of the isoflavones) or the 3-phenylchroman (isoflavan) backbone (case of isoflavanes, such as equol).

Circle packing in an equilateral triangle

Two-dimensional packing problem Circle packing in an equilateral triangle is a packing problem in discrete mathematics where the objective is to pack n unit circles into the smallest possible equilateral triangle. Optimal solutions are known for n < 13 and for any triangular number of circles, and conjectures are available for n < 28.[1][2][3] A conjecture of Paul Erdős and Norman Oler states that, if n is a triangular number, then the optimal packings of n W...
