dihydrochalcones, aurones, anthocyanidins, proantocyanidins, biflavanoids, and neoflavonoids [39].
They are richly available in various plant pigments. The non-flavonoid class is divided into four differ-
ent subclasses: (1) phenolic acids, (2) stilbenes, (3) lignans, and (4) coumarins [41].
Phenolic acids are a dominant category under the non-flavonoid class of polyphenols and are
further subdivided into hydroxybenzoic acids (C1–C6 backbone) and hydroxycinnamic acids (C3–
C6 backbone), and structurally characterized by a carboxylic acid group linked to the phenolic ring
[42]. They generally exist in plants either in free form or esterified form. They also often exist as a
conjugate with a sugar moiety and proteins, and hydrolysable on acid or alkali treatment. Many
foods and beverages, such as wine, tea, coffee chocolate, vegetables, whole grains, and fruits, con-
tain hydroxycinnamic acid in very high concentrations [43].
Stilbenes are biosynthesized by plants during external influences such as infection or injury.
They contain a C6–C2–C6 backbone and structurally represent a 1,2-diphenylethylene nucleus
and exist either in the monomeric or oligomeric form. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring impor-
tant bioactive compound that falls under this category [41, 44].
Stilbenes, a coumarin type of polyphenol, also synthesize and accumulate in the plant tissues
because of abiotic stress and microbial attacks. Stilbenes comprise a 1,2-benzopyrone skeleton
(α-chromone) and they also frequently exist in prenylated form. Coumarin cores are often used as
a template in the synthesis of various pharmacologically important novel compounds [41, 45].
Lignans are a comparatively less abundant class of phenolic compounds structurally character-
ized by a dibenzylbutane skeleton. These types of compounds are generally found in higher plants
(gymnosperms, angiosperms, pteridophytes, etc.). Often, they are found in the plant material in
bound form and are difficult to extract [41, 45]. Table 13.3 depicts polyphenolic compounds,
including flavonoids and their dietary sources.
13.4.2 Chemistry of Plant Polyphenolics/ Flavonoids
In plant-derived polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids comprise the largest group with approxi-
mately 10,000 natural analogues. These are hydroxylated phenolic substances that are synthesized
by plants in response to microbial infection. They often exist as bright colored (yellow to red) pig-
ments in plants and microbes [49]. The structural framework of flavanoid compounds comprises a
benzo-γ-pyrone ring system (C6–C3–C6 backbone). Structurally, they are characterized as C15
compounds and comprise two phenolic (C6) rings that are linked by a bridge of heterocyclic pyrone
rings. Two phenolic rings are denoted as A and B rings, whereas, connecting heterocyclic rings are
considered as a C ring in the structural skeleton [41, 49]. The basic structural skeletons/backbones
of various types of flavonoids classes are represented in Figure 13.3.
The chemical nature and biological potential of flavonoids depends on their structural class,
degree of hydroxylation, other functional group substitutions, conjugations, and degree of polym-
erization that categorize them in different subclasses [50]. The different categories of flavonoids
varies in the degree of oxidation and arrangement of substitution of the C ring, while different
compounds within a class differ in the pattern of substitution of the A and B rings. Generally, the
B ring binds at Position 2 of the C ring; however, it can also be attached at Position 3 or 4. Ring B
can adopt different structural features and the three rings can undergo glycosylation and hydroxy-
lation [48]. Flavonoids generally contain three or more –OH groups that are linked to their struc-
tural skeleton and exert a wide array of structural configurations. Additionally, in nature they are
frequently found in glycosylated form with multiple sugar units, chemically termed as flavanoid
glycosides. Many of them are hydrolysable by acid treatment and the non-sugar part is called a
glycon [49, 51].

The flavanoid ring system (benzo-γ-pyrone ring), which contains a double bond between the C-2
and C-3 positions with a ketone group at C-4 of the C ring denoted as flavones, whereas, in fla-
vanones, the C ring is saturated containing a double bond between the C-2 and C-3 positions of the
ring. These are also called dihydroflavones [48, 50]. Flavonol has an additional OH group at the
C-3 position of the C ring, which makes them more polar than flavone and flavanones. Additionally,
they exist in dihydroflavonol form, which has a double bond between the C3–C4 positions.
Generally, glycosylation of flavonols occurs in the C-3 position of the C ring [41, 50]. Flavan-3-ols
or flavanols contain a hydroxyl group at the C-3 position of the C ring. Unlike other flavanoids,
isoflavonoids contain a B ring attached at the C-3 position of the C ring, whereas, in other flava-
noids, the B ring is attached at the C-4 position [51].
Anthocyanidins and anthocyanins are bright colored (blue, red, or purple pigments) flavanoid
compounds found in flowers, fruits, and leaves. These are positively charged compounds contain-
ing flavylium cations, and they often occur as chloride salts [41, 52]. Anthocyains comprise one or
more sugar moieties in the C-3 position of the C ring. Frequently, these compounds are found in
the plants as a conjugate with phenolic acids and other organic acids. The deglycosylated forms of
anthocyanins are called anthocyanidins. Variation in the color of the anthocyanin compounds is
reliant on the pH acylation and methylation of –OH groups attached to the A and B ring, and also
the pH of the environment [52].
Proanthocyanidins are the dimer or trimer of flavanols in condensed form, also known as con-
densed tannins. Based on the interflavanic linkages, they can be divided as type A (C2–O–C7 or
C2–O–C5 bonding) or type B (C4–C6 or C4–C8). They are often produced from flavanol-rich mate-
rials during fermentation [51]. Open C rings containing flavanoids are categorized as chalcones.
Chalcone compounds exert a common chemical scaffold of 1,3- diaryl-2-propen-1-one, which is
also known as a chalconoid [53]. Figure 13.4 represents the structures of plant-derived polyphe-
nolic compounds, including flavonoids.

13.4.3 Biological Importance and Antioxidant Potential of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are essential to plants for survival during infections, predator attacks, and environmen-
tal stresses such as drought. Colors of the different plant parts are dependent on the type of flavo-
noids present in the tissue. Flavonoids are also responsible for the plant’s communication with
insects and microbes as a chemical messenger [49].
Consumption of flavonoids is proven to have various potential therapeutic benefits against human
disease. A flavonoid-rich diet and supplements are attracting tremendous attention worldwide because
of their wide array of positive ameliorative roles in human disease and healthy aging [50]. Flavanoid-
rich herbal supplements are often found to be significantly effective in the management of hyperten-
sion, diabetes, and obesity, along with several other complications of metabolic syndromes. Additionally,
flavanoid-rich food also helps heal infections and wounds faster, and improve the immune system [47,
50, 51]. Scientific validations indicate that flavonoids have remarkable potential in the prevention and
management of several diseases. A variety of flavanoid molecules have a wide range of therapeutic
benefits including antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, hepatoprotective, cardio-
protective, antidiabetic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory characteristics [47, 54].
Flavonoids exert excellent antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals or chelating with metal
ions. These properties are because of the multiple hydroxyl groups (–OH) present in the structure
[55]. Flavonoids also activate the Nrf2-HO antioxidant pathway, which gives signals to produce
endogenous antioxidant enzymes to maintain the redox balance in the human body during various
OS conditions [56]. In addition to strong antioxidant properties, flavanoids also possess impressive
potential towards the protection of DNA damage and mitochondrial death [57]. The approximate
intake of 100 mg/day of total flavonoids in the daily diet may reduce the risk of all causes of mortal-
ity and cardiovascular disease by 6% and 4%, respectively [51]. Recent studies demonstrated that
polyphenols like flavonoids improve gut-microbial health and maintain healthy gastrointestinal
functions [58]. The free radical scavenging action of dietary flavonoids is displayed in Figure 13.5.

13.4.4 Antimicrobial/Antibacterial Effectiveness of Flavonoids
Flavonoids exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial actions through different mechanisms that
are often similar to those of conventional antibiotics and thus could be of importance in the aug-
mentation of antimicrobial therapeutics. The antimicrobial properties of various flavonoids, along
with their effectiveness against specific microbial strains and the mechanisms of action, are sum-
marized in Table 13.4.
The specific mechanisms of antimicrobial/antibacterial actions are discussed below:
1) Bacterial cell membrane disruption: The integrity of the bacteria plasma membrane is a
prerequisite for their essential cellular processes, including peptidoglycan biosynthesis,
osmoregulation, cellular respiration, transport processes, and crosslinking of peptidoglycan,
and therefore, the targeting of the bacteria cell membrane to interrupt the functions with chemi-
cal agents creates opportunities to kill them [61, 65]. A study shows that flavonoids can interact
with the polar and non-polar heads of a lipid bilayer of a bacterial cell membrane as they hold
