Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol that possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, blood-sugar-lowering, antiaging, and anti-cancer properties. It has a wide spectrum of targets including cyclooxygenases(i.e. COX, IC50=1.1 μM), lipooxygenases（LOX, IC50=2.7 μM, kinases, sirtuins, c-IAP1, c-IAP2, livin and XIAP. Resveratrol regulates gene transcription via activation of the stimulus-regulated protein kinases Raf and ERK and the stimulus-responsive transcription factors TCF and Egr-1. Resveratrol is a stilbenol that is stilbene in which the phenyl groups are substituted at positions 3, 5, and 4' by hydroxy groups. It has a role as a glioma-associated oncogene inhibitor, a geroprotector, an antioxidant and a phytoalexin. It is a polyphenol, a member of resorcinols and a stilbenol.

Malonylgenistin is a glycosyloxyisoflavone that is genistin in which the hydroxy hydrogen at position 6'' has been replaced by a malonyl group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a malonate ester, a hydroxyisoflavone, a monosaccharide derivative and a glycosyloxyisoflavone. It is functionally related to a genistein 7-O-beta-D-glucoside.
