Abstract
Flavonoids, a series of compounds with a C6-C3-C6 structure, mostly originate from plant metabolism. Flavonoids have shown beneficial effects on many aspects of human physiology and health. Recently, many flavonoids with various activities have been discovered, which has led to more and more studies focusing on their physiological and pharmacodynamic activities. The anticancer and anti-viral activities especially have gained the attention of many researchers. Therefore, the discovery and development of flavonoids as anti-disease drugs has great potential and may make a significant contribution to fighting diseases. This review focus on the discovery and development of flavonoids in medicinal chemistry in recent years.
Keywords: Flavonoids, Natural product, Anti-cancer, Development, Anti-viral, Medicinal chemistry.
