a

Values are expressed as the mean of at least three independent analytical determinations in triplicate. Method details for the ERα and ERβ competitive binding assay and for the (TR-FRET) assay are described in the Experimental Section.

b

% relative binding affinity (RBA)= (IC50 E2/ IC50 (iso)flavonoid))*100,

c

% relative recruitment efficacy (RRE) = (max FRET efficacy (iso)flavonoid) / max FRET efficacy E2)*100, E2 arbitrarily set at 100%.
