Flavonoids: Chemistry and Bioactivity

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to publish your manuscripts in this Special Issue which deals with chemical structure and properties in relation to pharmacological activities of naturally occurring flavonoids or their synthetic analogs.

Flavonoids are very common plant phenols with many bioactivities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiviral. This group of secondary metabolites forms an important part of the human diet that shows beneficial effects on human health. Many studies have proven the protective activities of flavonoids in the case of various pathological processes associated with degenerative diseases and aging. In addition, flavonoids attract interest due to their cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties. Therefore, flavonoids and related compounds have recently become one of the most extensively investigated plant secondary metabolites.

The editors welcome original research or review articles related to medicinal chemistry, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, food chemistry, cosmetology, and bioactivities of natural flavonoids or their synthetic and semisynthetic structural analogs in connection to their potential effects on human health.
