Overview of the Chemistry and Bioactive Properties of Flavonoids: Insights into their Diverse Biological Activities
Received Date: Jul 03, 2023 / Published Date: Jul 31, 2023
Abstract
Most recent researches have focused on the health aspects of flavonoids for humans. Many flavonoids are shown to have antioxidative activity, free radical scavenging capacity, coronary heart disease prevention, hepato protective, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities, while some flavonoids exhibit potential antiviral activities. In plant systems, flavonoids help in combating oxidative stress and act as growth regulators. For pharmaceutical purposes cost-effective bulk production of different types of flavonoids has been made possible with the help of microbial biotechnology. Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant secondary metabolites that have gained significant attention in recent years due to their wide range of biological activities. These natural compounds are widely distributed in fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and other plant-based foods, making them an integral part of the human diet.
