Quercetin is the main flavonoid present in the human diet, being the most characteristic representative of the subclass flavonols. Although the beneficial health effects of quercetin are usually linked to its antioxidant ...

The antioxidant effect of 8PP, a prenylflavonoid from Dalea elegans on Candida albicans biofilms, was investigated. We previously reported that sensitive (SCa) and resistant C. albicans (RCa) biofilms were strongly inhibited ...

Flavonoids display a broad range of health-promoting bioactivities. Among these, their capacity to act as antioxidants has remained most prominent. The canonical reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging mode of the antioxidant ...

Harpagophytum procumbens, known as devil's claw, is an African plant with numerous therapeutic effects, among which stands out for its powerful anti-inflammatory action, but the mechanism by which exerts its effect is not ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the “French paradox” has contributed to a growing interest in the investigation of the biological activity of red wine polyphenols (RWP). The main goal of this research is ...

The flavonoid silymarin and one of its structural components, silibinin, have been well characterized as hepato-protective substances. However, little is known about the biochemical mechanisms of action of these substances. ...
