Bakuchiol is a terpenophenolic compound extracted from the plant Psoralea corylifolia. Bakuchiol has been used as an oral antibiotic, anti-tumor agent and for the protection of liver and bone tissue. It has also been used as an insulin enhancer to counter hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia for in vivo research on mice and rats. Within these studies, bakuchiol inhibited phospho-tyrosine protein phosphatase type 1B (PTP1B), DNA polymerase and topoisomerase II. Inactivity of these three enzymes greatly reduced PTPB1 activity, which has been found to suppress insulin signaling.

Antibiotic and anti-tumor uses of bakuchiol have been shown to be correlated to suppression of DNA synthesis. As a bactericidal agent, bakuchiol has been proven to be robust in vitro and is functional at many pH values as well as in the presence of organic acids. Bakuchiol terminates bacteria and malignant cells by generating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), dismantling bacterial cells and compromising tumor cell mitochondria. Conversely, bakuchiol has also been shown to preserve liver function by inhibiting ROS that cause lipid peroxidation and the use of glutathione, an antioxidant.

The bone preserving effects of bakuchiol are related to its high binding affinity for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). It has been shown that bakuchiol stimulates ERα to promote bone protective pathways.The pathways controlled by ERα increase alkaline phosphatase, calcium concentration, estradiol concentration and a decrease in inorganic phosphate level.
