Four prenylflavonoids, bavachin 1 , isobavachin 2 , 7,4′‐dihydroxy‐8‐prenylflavone 3 , and 8‐prenylapigenin 4 were synthesized and recognized for possessing estrogen‐like activity in MCF‐7/BOS cells, as evaluated by an estrogen‐screening assay. All compounds significantly stimulated the proliferation of MCF‐7/BOS cells in a dose‐dependent manner. Isobavachin 2 showed the most potent activity, while bavachin 1 was the weakest. The estrogenic potency of these compounds is ranked as follows: 2 > 4 > 3 > 1 .
