Progress in the Research on Naturally Occurring Flavones and Flavonols: An Overview

Abstract: The present review deals with recently reported novel natural flavones and flavonols (mid-1999 to early 2004), along with various biological and pharmacological activities as exhibited by these important groups of flavonoids. The present resumé lists 252 new naturally occurring flavones and flavonols reported during the period. Natural distribution by plant family of the flavonoids is considered; a variety of plant species belonging to fifty-two different plant families is mentioned as their natural sources. T… Show more

“…Vá-rios exemplos são descritos de substâncias com atividade antioxidante frente ao DPPH, sendo que os mais ativos neste ensaio são compostos fenólicos, como os flavonóides. 18 As substâncias 1 a 5, pelo fato de não apresentarem hidroxilas fenólicas, mostraram-se, portanto, destituídas de atividade neste ensaio (CI 50 > 100 µM) , enquanto que epicatequina (6) apresentou atividade antioxidante superior à do controle positivo (CI 50 = 42,90 ± 0,10 e 55,97 ± 0,08 µM, respectivamente). A importância da presença das hidroxilas fenólicas neste ensaio fica evidente quando é comparada a CI 50 do ácido gálico (24,86 ± 0,12 µM) com a do ácido 3,4,5-trimetoxibenzóico 5 (CI 50 > 100 µM).…”

“…Flavonoids are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom and are of interest owing to their biological, pharmacological and therapeutic potential [29]. Genistein, the main representative chemical of the flavonoids, has been shown to have a relative binding affinity for hERα of 0.45 (E2=100) and agonist activities in transcription activation assays with ERα and ERβ [21,[30][31][32].…”
