NCIt definition : An extract of soybeans enriched in Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI), a soybean-derived,
71-amino acid, polypeptide and serine protease inhibitor with potential chemopreventive
activity. Bowman-Birk inhibitor contains distinct inhibitory sites for trypsin and
chymotrypsin. Although the exact mechanism by which BBI suppresses carcinogenesis
is unknown, its antiproliferative activity appears to be linked to the chymotrypsin
inhibitory region.;
