1. Naturally-occurring Phytoestrogen
Precursors Are Converted to Estrogenic
Compounds by Human Intestinal Bacteria
Masao Hattori

On Plant Isoflavones and Lignans
In an epidemiologic study, the prevalence of breast cancer
and prostate cancer was lower in Japan and Finland
compared it with U.S.A
As a low factor of the prevalence, a Japanese soy bean and
Finnish rye bread were considered as the candidates, which
contain so called phytoestrogens, isoflavonoids and lignans.
Since phytoestrogens structurally resemble estradiol, they
have estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities and an
incidence of prostate cancer or breast cancer may decrease
depending on the blood concentrations of phytoestrogens
(reverse correlation).

• Through a complex formation of estrogen receptors, estrogen, co-
activators such as SCR-1, transcription of target genes is
accelerated to induce physiological actions.
• Two types of estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ are reported and
phytoestrogens are more strongly bound to ERβ than ERα in
general.

Conclusions
1. Trachelogenin was demonstrated to convert estrogenic
enterolactone as well as secoisolarisiresinol diglucoside
(SDG), arctiin and pinoresinol by human intestinal bacteria
(HIB).
trachelogenin
and arctiin to (-)-enterolactone by HIB.
ERα ERβ.
4. Dehydroxylation and oxidation of lignans by HIB were
enantioselective as substrates.
5. Puerarin (C-glucosyl) was converted to estrogenic equol
through daidzein by HIB.
