Abstract: Phytoestrogens are class of natural compounds that shares structural similarity with estrogen and has the capacity to alter the fertilization in mammals. Till early 1990s, the natural phytoestrogens as well as their synthetic analogues were explored for their fertility modulating activity. During late 1990s, two findings renewed the interest on phytoestrogens as means to control hormone induced cancer: (i) revelation of overexpression of CYP1B1 in breast & ovarian cancer and (ii) protection offered by alphanapthoflavone (ANF) against hormone induced cancer. The objective of the review is to summarize the CYP1B1 inhibitory activity of phytoestrogens and their synthetic analogues reported till date. This review is an attempt to classify phytoestrogens and their synthetic analogues on their chemical architecture rather than simply by their chemical class (flavones, stilbenes etc.). This provides a broader sense to cluster many chemical classes under a particular chemical architecture/framework. Accordingly, we divided the phytoestrogen into three different classes based on two aryl groups (Ar) separated by linker (X), which may be either cyclic (c) or linear (l). The number in subscript to X denotes number of atoms: (i) Ar-cX4-Ar, (ii) Ar-lX3-Ar and (iii) Ar-lX2-Ar. This provides an opportunity to cluster flavones, quinolines and quinazolinones under Ar-cX4-Ar class, while biphenyl ureas and chalcones under Ar-lX3-Ar class. We believe in coming years many chemical scaffolds may be clustered under this framework.
