Ipriflavone(INN,JAN;brand nameYambolap) is asyntheticisoflavonewhich may be used to inhibit bone resorption,[2]maintain bone density and to preventosteoporosisin postmenopausal women.[1]It is not used to treat osteoporosis. It slows down the action of theosteoclasts(bone-eroding cells), possibly allowing theosteoblasts(bone-building cells) to build up bone mass.
A clinical trial reported in 2001 that it wasnoteffective in prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.[3]
A double-blind study reveals that ipriflavone might be effective on reducing tinnitus onotosclerosissufferers.[4]
Ipriflavone has been described as aphytoestrogen.[5]However, this is incorrect, as the drug does not bind to or activate theestrogen receptorand shows noestrogeniceffects inpostmenopausalwomen.[6][7]The drug preventsbone lossvia mechanisms that are distinct from those ofestrogens.[5]
