Daidzin is a natural organic compound in the class of phytochemicals known as isoflavones. Daidzin can be found in Japanese plant kudzu (Pueraria lobata, Fabaceae) and from soybean leaves.[1]

Daidzin is the 7-O-glucoside of daidzein.

Daidzin has shown the potential for the treatment of alcohol dependency (antidipsotropic) based on animal models.[2][3]
