Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom with around 8000 different phenolic structures [1].

  • And Season-Dependent Pattern of Flavonol Glycosides In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Age‑ and season‑dependent pattern of favonol glycosides in Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine leaves Sakina Bouderias1,2, Péter Teszlák1, Gábor Jakab1,2 & László Kőrösi1* Flavonols play key roles in many plant defense mechanisms, consequently they are frequently investigated as stress sensitive factors in relation to several oxidative processes. It is well known that grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) can synthesize various favonol glycosides in the leaves, however, very little information is available regarding their distribution along the cane at diferent leaf levels. In this work, taking into consideration of leaf position, the main favonol glycosides of a red grapevine cultivar (Cabernet Sauvignon) were profled and quantifed by HPLC–DAD analysis. It was found that amount of four favonol glycosides, namely, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside and kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide decreased towards the shoot tip. Since leaf age also decreases towards the shoot tip, the obtained results suggest that these compounds continuously formed by leaf aging, resulting in their accumulation in the older leaves. In contrast, quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (predominant form) and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside were not accumulated signifcantly by aging. We also pointed out that grapevine boosted the favonol biosynthesis in September, and favonol profle difered signifcantly in the two seasons. Our results contribute to the better understanding of the role of favonols in the antioxidant defense system of grapevine. Flavonoids are very important secondary metabolites, having various functional roles in diferent physiological and developmental processes in plants1–3. Flavonols as a group of favonoids are mainly accumulated in epidermal cells of plant tissues in response to solar radiation 4, 5, to flter the UV-B light while allowing to pass the photo- synthetically active visible light 6–8.

Galangin can be rapidly converted into glu- curonidated metabolites in vivo. This study aimed to establish an UFLC-MS/MS ana- lytical method to simultaneously determine the concentrations of two glucuronidated metabolites of galangin, galangin-3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid (GG-1) and galangin-7- O-β-D-glucuronic acid (GG-2) in rat plasma. After oral administration of galangal extract (0.3 g/kg), blood samples were collected from the orbital sinus, then treated by methanol precipitation and further gradient-eluted with Phenomenex Kinetex 2.6 mm XB-C18 column. The mass spectrometer was manipulated in the negative electrospray ionization (ESI) and selected multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for the analytes.

It was found that flavonoids amurensin, diosmin, robinin, rutin, sophoroflavonoloside, spiraeoside and icariin had hydrogen bond interactions with the receptor protein pneumolysin (4QQA). Among others, robinin had the highest score (7710) revealing that it had the best geometrical fit to the receptor molecule forming 12 hydrogen bonds ranging from 0.8-3.3 Å.

It occurs mainly as glycosides, but other derivatives of quercetin have been identified as well.

  • Fisetin, Kaempferol, and Quercetin on Head and Neck Cancers
    nutrients Review Anticancer Potential of Selected Flavonols: Fisetin, Kaempferol, and Quercetin on Head and Neck Cancers Robert Kubina 1,* , Marcello Iriti 2 and Agata Kabała-Dzik 1 1 Department of Pathology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Sosnowiec, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland; [email protected] 2 Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Milan State University, via G. Celoria 2, 20133 Milan, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-32-364-13-54 Abstract: Flavonols are ones of the most common phytochemicals found in diets rich in fruit and vegetables. Research suggests that molecular functions of flavonoids may bring a number of health benefits to people, including the following: decrease inflammation, change disease activity, and alleviate resistance to antibiotics as well as chemotherapeutics. Their antiproliferative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic activity has been proved. They may act as antioxidants, while preventing DNA damage by scavenging reactive oxygen radicals, reinforcing DNA repair, disrupting chemical damages by induction of phase II enzymes, and modifying signal transduction pathways. One of such research areas is a potential effect of flavonoids on the risk of developing cancer. The aim of our paper is to present a systematic review of antineoplastic activity of flavonols in general. Special attention was paid to selected flavonols: fisetin, kaempferol, and quercetin in preclinical and in vitro studies. Study results prove antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties of flavonols Citation: Kubina, R.; Iriti, M.; with regard to head and neck cancer. However, few study papers evaluate specific activities during Kabała-Dzik, A. Anticancer Potential various processes associated with cancer progression.

Received: 26 January 2010; in revised form: 8 April 2010 / Accepted: 19 April 2010 / Published: 29 April 2010 Abstract: Artemisia annua is currently the only commercial source of the sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin. Since artemisinin was discovered as the active component of A. annua in early 1970s, hundreds of papers have focused on the anti-parasitic effects of artemisinin and its semi-synthetic analogs dihydroartemisinin, artemether, arteether, and artesunate. Artemisinin per se has not been used in mainstream clinical practice due to its poor bioavailability when compared to its analogs. In the past decade, the work with artemisinin-based compounds has expanded to their anti-cancer properties.
