Structure-radical scavenging activity relationships of flavonoids

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: The relationship between the structural characteristics of 29 flavonoids and their antiradical ac-tivity was studied. The obtained results suggest that the free radical scavenger potential of these polyphenolic compounds closely depends on the particular substitution pattern of free hydroxyl groups on the flavonoid skeleton. The possible mechanism of action of flavonoids lacking B ring OHs as free radical scavengers has been proposed.
