## Abstract The female flowers of hops (__Humulus lupulus__ L.) used to flavor beer contain the prenylated flavonoids xanthohumol (XN) and isoxanthohumol (IX). IX is moderately estrogenic __in vitro__ and XN has pharmacological properties that might make it useful as a cancer chemopreventive agent.
