Odoriflavene has antioxidant activity, and it also shows inhibition effects on the decrease of glutathione level of rat lens induced by UV irradiation. Odoriflavene shows cytotoxic activity against a SH-SY5Y cell line in vitro.

Four compounds were isolated from the root of Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen and identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods as 2?2-O-methyl-isoliquiritigenin (1), Odoriflavene (2), 5?2-methoxy-vestitol (3) and formononetin (4). Their antioxidant activities were investigated in lard by the oxidative stability instrument; their inhibitory effects on the decrease of glutathione level of rat lens induced by UV irradiation were studied using a rat lens UV-damage model, and their in vitro cytotoxicity was measured on human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.
