Plant secondary metabolites, derived from 2-phenylchromen-4-one structure, flavonoids are pigment (or co-pigment) for plants, protecting them from UV-radiation, free-radical scavengers, attracting pollinator animals. They have potential salutary effects on human health. In vitro, they are enzymatic inhibitors and have anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activities. They are more than 5000 substances known, usually classified according to the structure of their aglycone pattern, our flavonoid reference material collection contains more than 200 of them.
