US 2003/0170186 A1 Sep. 11, 2003 NOVEL FLAVONE GLYCOSIDE DERVATIVES quercetin, rutin, naringin and those mentioned above, and FOR USE IN COSMETICS, PHARMACEUTICALS also isoflavones and isoflavone glycosides (isoflavonoids) AND NUTRITION are known to be Scavengers of oxygen radicals and inhibi tors of skin proteases So that they are actively able to 0001. This invention relates to new biologically active counteract aging of the skin and Scar formation. By virtue of flavone and isoflavone glycoside derivatives corresponding their coloring properties, Some flavones, Such as quercetin, to general formula (I): are used as food colorants. At the same time, their ability to trap oxygen radicals also enables them to be used as anti 0002 of aliphatic and arylaliphatic carboxylic acids, to oxidants. Some flavonoids are inhibitors of aldose reductase processes for their production, to cosmetic and/or pharma which plays a key role in the formation of diabetes damage ceutical preparations containing these compounds and to (vascular damage, grey Star). Other flavonoids (such as hesperidin and rutin) are used therapeutically, more particu their use as additives in human nutrition and animal feeds. larly as vasodilating capillary-active agents. 0003. In the cosmetics field, the use of active substances is becoming increasingly more important. The active Sub 0009.

For example, Salicin (a glycosidic active Substance enzymes, trace elements, etc. and also pharmaceuticals from willow bark) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (medicaments), feed additives, fertilizers and pesticides. (NSAIA) which, after derivatization (esterifications), shows Synergism is also observed in many cases. distinctly improved activity. Recently, researcherS Suc ceeded in Synthesizing new arylaliphatic Salicin esters, Such 0005 Flavones and Isoflavones/Flavonoids and Isofla as phenylacetoyl Salicin and phenyl butyroyl Salicin, the vonoids or Flavone Glycosides and Isoflavone Glycosides esterification taking place preferentially at the primary OH 0006 Flavones are 2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones in groups of the Salicin (first at the Sugar, then at the benzyl which hydroxyl groups may be present or even missing at group) in the Salicin. By virtue of the arylaliphatic group, various positions of the rings. One example of a flavone is mass transport to the point of action is improved and the apigenin of which the chemical name is 2-(p-hydroxyphe Selectivity of the effect is increased. Thus, in contrast to nyl)-4H-1-(5,7-dihydroxybenzopyran-4-one (see Römpp, unmodified salicin, these derivatives preferentially inhibit Chemie-Lexikon, 9th Edition, Vol. 2, pp. 1373/4).
