It shows an action on prostate cancer cells.[2] It has been shown to inhibit the human cytochrome P450 1A1,[3] an enzyme implicated in the biotransformation of a number of carcinogenic and immunotoxic compounds.

Injected in rats, rhapontigenin shows a rapid glucuronidation and a poor bioavailability.[4]
