Previous descriptions of quercetin, a widely studied flavonoid, as a frequently reported nonspecific screening hit due to aggregating behavior has raised questions about the reliability of in vitro bioactivity reports of phenolic compounds. Here a systematic study on 117 phenolic
From the methylene chloride extract of the leaves of Guiera senegalensis a novel naphthopyran, 5-methylflavasperone (5,8,10-trimethoxy-2-methyl-4 H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-4-one), as well as rhamnetin were isolated. Rhamnetin showed a strong inhibitory activity on 5-lipoxygenase from porcine leucocytes with an IC50 value of 0.7

Flavonol O- and xanthone C-glycosides were extracted from mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. "Tommy Atkins") peels and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Among the fourteen compounds analyzed, seven quercetin O-glycosides, one kaempferol O-glycoside, and four xanthone C-glycosides
The regioselective synthesis of several quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxy flavone) tetraesters bearing a single free OH on 5-C was achieved in good yield by proper choice of reaction conditions using common esterification procedures. Tetracetylated quercetin with the free OH on 7-C was
To produce rhamnetin using enzymatic engineering, poplar O-methyltransferase-7 and its mutants were prepared based on the rational enzyme design, and the production of rhamnetin was compared with the results obtained using the wild type enzyme. In addition, the potential of
Antioxidants protect biological systems from oxidative damage produced by oxygen-containing free radicals and from redoxactive transition metal ions such as iron, copper, and cadmium.
