Elucidating the Skin Delivery of Aglycone and Glycoside Flavonoids: How the Structures Affect Cutaneous Absorption

Abstract: Flavonoids are bioactive phytochemicals that exhibit protective potential against cutaneous inflammation and photoaging. We selected eight flavonoid aglycones or glycosides to elucidate the chemistry behind their skin absorption capability through experimental and computational approaches. The skin delivery was conducted using nude mouse and pig skins mounted on an in vitro Franz cell assembly. The anti-inflammatory activity was examined using the O2•– and elastase inhibition in activated human neutrophils. In… Show more

“…For example, many herbal preparations utilized as natural diuretics, and plant extracts with other main pharmacological activities (i.e., drugs against cardiovascular diseases, sedatives, anti-inflammatory agents) exhibit additional beneficial effects by the antimicrobial action [41,42]. Recent data show that flavonoids have protective potential against cutaneous inflammatory reactions and affect wound healing [43,44]. In addition, organic acids (especially citric acid) seem to be of significant importance in the antimicrobial activity and health of the skin [45,46].…”

“…Thermal treatment during boiling or roasting can lead to the cleavage of the aglycone of flavonoids during ethnomedical practice [16]. Other components in herbal mixtures with β glucosidase activity [17] can also cause this decomposition, as well as enzymatic hydrolysis in skin tissue during topical application [18]. Moreover, the presence of quercetin in P. thonningii leaf extracts has been reported [10,15].…”

“…During the ethnomedical application, cleavage of the aglycon can be caused by thermal treatment (boiling or roasting) [18], or by other components with β-glucosidase activity in herbal mixtures [19]. During application to skin tissue, flavonoid glycosides may also be susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis [20]. Therefore, not only myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside was tested, but also myricetin to determine the effect of the aglycone.…”
