Sodium formononetin-3'-sulfonate (Sul-F) is a water-soluble derivative of formononetin. Research indicates that Sul-F significantly prevents the elevation of ST-segment levels and decreases several serum markers associated with myocardial injury. It is also noted for its favorable water solubility, lipid-lowering, and liver-protection activities, making it suitable for various research applications.
- Prevents elevation of ST-segment level.
- Decreases creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, and cardiac troponin T levels.
- Reduces myocardium necrosis scores.
- Elevates expression of endogenous antioxidant defense enzymes.
- Degrades lipid peroxidation products.
- Improves energy metabolism of cardiac mitochondria.
- Attenuates cardiocyte apoptosis.
- Exhibits good lipid-lowering and liver-protection activities.
