With the climate constantly changing, plants suffer more frequently from various abiotic and biotic stresses. However, they have evolved biosynthetic machinery to survive in stressful environmental conditions. Flavonoids are involved a variety of biological activities plants, which can protect different (plant-parasitic nematodes, fungi bacteria) stresses (salt stress, drought UV, higher lower temperatures). contain several subgroups, including anthocyanidins, flavonols, flavones, flavanols, flavanones, chalcones, dihydrochalcones dihydroflavonols, widely distributed plants. As pathway flavonoid biosynthesis has been well studied, many researchers applied transgenic technologies order explore molecular mechanism genes associated with biosynthesis; as such, shown stress tolerance through regulation content. In present review, classification, structure flavonoids were summarized, roles under forms also included. addition, effect applying on enhancement plant was discussed.

Flavonoids are a large subgroup of polyphenols known to be sourced from over 6000 natural products, including fruits, vegetables, bark, and herbs. Due their antioxidant properties, flavonoids have been implicated as therapy source for many diseases conditions, inflammation, vasculitis, venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids. Currently, some being researched ability concerning neuroprotection. These can penetrate the blood–brain barrier and, depending on specific flavonoid, retain adequate bioavailability in certain brain regions. Further data suggest that could strong anti-inflammatory effect brain, which not only robust therapeutic neuroinflammatory such Alzheimer’s Disease or Parkinson’s but also ischemic hemorrhagic conditions stroke.

In this study, we investigated the ability of ortho-quinone methide (o-QM), an electron-poor diene, to undergo inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction with electron-rich dienophiles, resulting in fused-ring flavonoid systems. addition, explored Michael-type addition using o-QM and various nucleophiles, providing access diarylmethane products. The cycloaddition reactions proceeded a highly regioselective way, depending on charge distribution reacting partners. Overall, dienophiles or nucleophiles reacted intermediate afford products reduced moderate yields. Electron-poor other hand, failed react o-QM.
