How to pronounce medicarpin

Medicarpin is a pterocarpan, a derivative of isoflavonoids.

Medicarpin is found in Medicago truncatula and Swartzia madagascariensis. It can also be found in Maackia amurensis cell cultures.

The root nodule formation by Sinorhizobium meliloti is apparently dependent on the flavonoids pathway.

Pterocarpin synthase has 3 substrates : medicarpin, NADP⁺ and H₂O, and 3 products : vestitone, NADPH and H⁺.
