Synthetic Flavonoids as Novel Modulators of Platelet Function and Thrombosis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Cardiovascular diseases represent a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the world, and specifically, thrombotic conditions such as heart attacks and strokes are caused by unwarranted activation of platelets and subsequent formation of blood clots (thrombi) within the blood vessels during pathological circumstances.

An Improved Synthetic Method for Sensitive Iodine Containing Tricyclic Flavonoids
Molecules, 2022 The synthesis of new iodine containing synthetic tricyclic flavonoids is reported. Due to the sensitivity of the precursors to the heat and acidic conditions required for the ring closure of the 1,3-dithiolium core, a new cyclization method has been ...

Systematic Exploration of Natural and Synthetic Flavonoids for the Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 When single-cell (or suspended) bacteria switch into the biofilm lifestyle, they become less susceptible to antimicrobials, imposing the need for anti-biofilms research. Flavonoids are among the most extensively studied natural compounds with an unprecedented amount of bioactivity claims.

Synthetic flavonoids with antimicrobial activity: a review [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2019 The emergence of drug-resistant microbes left us with a great need for new antimicrobial agents. Flavonoids, with their wide range of biological activities, are good candidates in this respect. Although naturally occurring flavonoids are the most studied ones, semi-synthetic or synthetic flavonoids have proven to have great potential, inhibiting and ...

Inhibition of UGT1A1 by natural and synthetic flavonoids [PDF]
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2019 Flavonoids are widely distributed phytochemicals in vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants. Recent studies demonstrate that some natural flavonoids are potent inhibitors of the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), a key enzyme in detoxification of endogenous harmful compounds such as bilirubin.

In Vivo Antistress Effects of Synthetic Flavonoids in Mice: Behavioral and Biochemical Approach. [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 Natural flavonoids, in addition to some of their synthetic derivatives, are recognized for their remarkable medicinal properties. The present study was designed to investigate the in vitro antioxidant and in vivo antistress effect of synthetic flavonoids (flavones and flavonols) in mice, where stress was induced by injecting acetic acid and physically ...
