Isolation and identification of "diazepam-like" compounds from bovine urine.

Attempts to isolate the putative endogenous ligand for the benzodiazepine receptor from bovine urine resulted in the identification of three isoflavans: equol (1), 3',7-dihydroxyisoflavan (2), and 4'-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavan (9), as "diazepam-like" compounds. 3-Chloro-9H-carbazole (17) was found to enhance the binding of diazepam in the benzodiazepine receptor binding assay. Pinosylvine monomethyl ether (18), indigo (20), and indirubin (21) were isolated as inactive compounds.
