Puerarin is one of several known isoflavones. Puerarin is found in a number of plants and herbs like the root of Pueraria (Radix puerariae)[1] notably of the kudzu plant.

Puerarin is the 8-C-glucoside of daidzein.

Puerarin is a 5-HT2C receptor and benzodiazepine site antagonist.[2]

Puerarin is being investigated as a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system.[citation needed]
