Abstract
Flavonoids, the most diverse group of natural polyphenolics, are secondary plant metabolites that play a crucial role in human health protection. Two main classes—flavonols and flavones—comprise the main body of flavonoids with antioxidant properties and high biological activity, proven both in vitro and in vivo. Purified samples of flavones represent special interest. One of them, luteolin-7-glucoside (cynaroside), has attracted increasing attention as a potential agent possessing a number of biological activities. The current understanding of cynaroside bioactivities is outlined in this chapter, along with research gaps and potential future directions for this flavonoid’s study.
