Abstract

Flavones or 2-phenylchromones are naturally occurring oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds belonging to the flavonoid family present in fruits, vegetables, grains, bark, roots, stems, flowers, tea, and wine. 1 Owing to their broad range of biological activities, continuous investigation has led to the isolation of over 4000 chemically unique flavonoids from plants. 2 Multifarious biological activities exhibited by flavones include anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti- ...
