Flavonoids, a diverse group of plant compounds, have captured the attention of MAGISNAT’s researchers for their potential health benefits. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of flavonoids, including their chemical structure, sources in nature, and their significant role in human health.
Flavonoids belong to a class of polyphenolic compounds found abundantly in fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and beverages such as tea and wine. Structurally, flavonoids are characterized by a distinctive C6-C3-C6 carbon skeleton, comprising two phenyl rings (known as A and B rings) connected by a three-carbon chain forming the C ring. This fundamental structure is the foundation for the vast array of flavonoid subclasses, each distinguished by specific modifications such as hydroxylation, methylation, glycosylation, or prenylation.
