FlavonoidsFlavonoids are polyphenolic compounds that are ubiquitous among vascular plants and occur as aglycones, glucosides, and methylated derivatives. The six-membered ring condensed with the benzene ring is either pyrone (flavones and flavonols) or its dihydro derivative (flavanones and flavan-3-ols). The position of the Abstract Phytochemicals are known for their therapeutic properties in treating various diseases and disorders. It also holds great promise for discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals in diverse human ailments. A large number of medicinal plants are claimed to possess the anti-biotic, anti-oxidant and wound healing properties in the traditional system. The phytochemical investigations of traditionally used medicinal plants have shown the diversified useful compound classes like alkaloid, phenolic, tannin, terpene, steroid, flavonoid, glycoside, and fatty acid. These phytochemical components play an important role in scavenging free radicals, fighting infection and promoting the faster wound-healing process. Phytochemicals can serve as a cost-effective alternative therapeutic agent for human diseases. This review mainly focuses on phytochemicals and their role as antimicrobial, anti-oxidant and wound healing agent.Citation: Rex JRS, Muthukumar NMSA, Selvakumar PM.
