Abstract: Flavones were an essential anchor for the development of new therapeutic agents. All classes of flavonoids exhibit a variety of biological activities, but among them, flavone derivatives have been considerably explored. Numerous natural, semisynthetic and synthetic flavonoids have been synthesized and evaluated for several therapeutic activities, such as: anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiallergic, antioxidant, antitumor activities. Most metabolic diseases are speculated to originate from oxidative stress and, therefore, it is significant that recent studies have shown the positive effect of flavones on diseases related to oxidative stress. In this paper, we present some fundamental elements for flavonoid therapeutic implications and future uses.
