Glycinol is a pterocarpan, a type of natural phenol. It is a phytoalexin found in the soybean (Glycine max). It is formed by the cyclisation of daidzein.[citation needed]

More recent literature supports that glycinol has potent phytoestrogenic activity.[1][2]

The so-called osteogenesis that is causes is postulated to be a preventative factor for osteoporosis.[citation needed]

It can be synthethised chemically and possesses two chiral centers.[3]

Glycinol is the direct precursor of glyceollins through the action of a prenyltransferase.[citation needed]

Experiments show that the 6a oxygen of glycinol is derived from molecular oxygen.[4]
