In Vitro Antioxidant versus Metal Ion Chelating Properties of Flavonoids: A Structure-Activity Investigation

Abstract: Natural flavonoids such as quercetin, (+)catechin and rutin as well as four methoxylated derivatives of quercetin used as models were investigated to elucidate their impact on the oxidant and antioxidant status of human red blood cells (RBCs). The impact of these compounds against metal toxicity was studied as well as their antiradical activities with DPPH assay. Antihemolytic experiments were conducted on quercetin, (+)catechin and rutin with excess of Fe, Cu and Zn (400 μM), and the oxidant (malondialdehyde,… Show more

“…Moreover, all subtypes are composed of a dihedral angle between the B ring and the A/C fused rings. Thus, it is difficult to predict the ET (or antioxidant) potential of flavonoids, regardless of the amount of antioxidant structure–activity relationship studies …”
