Antioxidant Activity of Flavonoid

The reactivity of an antioxidant is determined by its reactivity as a hydrogen or electron-donating agent, the fate of the resulting radical (unpaired electron), its reactivity with other antioxidant, and its metal-chelating potential. The reactivity can be assessed by applying the chromogenic redox indicator ABTS+(radical cation of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline 6-sulphonic acid) relative to Trolox (water-soluble vitamin E analogue).

The strength of antioxidant activities is ordered as:

  • the ortho 3',4'-dihydoroxy moiety in the B-ring,
  • the meta 5,7-dihydroxy moiety in the A-ring, and
  • the 2,3-double bond together with both 4-keto and 3/5-hydroxy group in the C-ring.
Glycosylation decreases the activity. Metal chelation is achieved by the first and the third items above.

For example, quercetin is a more effective photoprotectant and anti-oxidant than kaempferol. [1] [2]
