Abstract

Plants and herbs consumed by humans are rich sources of phytonutrients compounds synthesized in plants itself. Such bioactive ingredients are responsible for the plant’s antioxidant and medicinal values. Flavonoid might recover cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Flavonoids are considered as disease preventing and health promoting dietary supplements. Flavonoids are an important group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds, and its flavone nucleus characterizes it. The main purpose of this present review is to deliberate the current trends of research and development on flavonoids, functions, prediction of flavonoids and applications of flavonoids, as potential drugs in inhibiting several chronic diseases and future research guidelines. Flavonoids have the capacity to control the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via scavenger ROS when they are designed. Thus, these antioxidant compounds have a significant role in plant stress tolerance and a high significance in human health, mainly due to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
