Class Overview

The word "flavonoid" comes from its Latin origin flavus (yellow) with oid, meaning yellow-ish. It comes from its history as yellow natural dye (quercetin and kaempferol are the most widespread flavone dyes. See flavone).
Chemically speaking, it is a class of plant secondary metabolites that have two benzene rings (each called A-ring and B-ring) connected by a chain of three carbons (Figure 1). The carbon chain, corresponding to the numbers 2,3,4 in Figure 1, is linked to a hydroxyl group in the A-ring to form the C-ring. The class of flavonoids are usually determined by the modification pattern of the C-ring (Table 1).
Flavonoid is utilized in many industrial processes from pigments to food additives. Often heard names include anthocyanin, catechin, flavan, and isoflavone.

Biosynthesis

Flavonoid is synthesized through both the phenylpropanoid-acetate pathway and the acetate-malonate pathway in all higher plants (but not algae). Most plants contain the 7 major subgroups (chalcones, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, flavans, anthocyanidins, and anthycyanins), but aurones or isoflavonoids are not ubiquitous.

General Flavonoid

All flavonoids
photoprotectant, anti-oxidant
Not only anthocyanins but even simple structures such as chalcone can absorb UV wavelengths strongly. The ability of photoprotection is derived from its anti-oxidative activity. For example, quercetin is a more effective photoprotectant and anti-oxidant than kaempferol. [1] [2]

Flavanols
Quercetin in onions and flavanols in cocoa are said to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive animals [1], but their effect or mechanism is not clinically conclusive.

Bioavailability

Flavonoid Dose Observation
catechin[1] 5.8 g 26% was excreted within 24h. m-hydroxyphenyl propionic acid was detected in plasma after 6h
3-O-methyl-catechin[2] 2 g plasma level 11-18 ug/ml within 2h; 38% was excreted as glucuronides and sulphates in urine within 120h
quercetin[3] 64 mg (as fried onion) plasma level 1 uM, 2h later
quercetin[4] 4 g (as supplement) undetected in urine or plasma
decaffeinated green tea[5] 88 mg EGCG, 82 mg EGC, 33 mg ECG, and 32 mg EC plasma level 46-268 ng/ml, 82-206 ng/ml, undetected, and 40-80 ng/ml, respectively.
Isoflavones

Isoflavones are efficiently absorbed from the colon and exhibit the highest bioavailability. (Usually polyphenols absorbed from the colon show very low availability.) Daidzein and genistein are known to form chlorinated products (e.g. 3- and 8-chlorodaidzein), then are conjugated with glucuronides and excreted in bile.

Anthocyanins

Although anthocyanins comprise ca. 50% of total polyphenols, they are poorly available (less than 1% of intake in urinary levels). Anthocyanins are absorbed from the stomach, and their glycosides appear in plasma soon after the intake. In blood, only anthocyanins exist in a non-conjugated form.

Flavan

Flavan 3-ols and phenolic acids are efficiently abosrbed from the small instestine, a few hours after intake.

Others

Non-absorbed flavonoids are transported to the colon, and subjected to metabolism by microbiota. These flavonoids are therefore absorbed much less compared to flavan 3-ols and phenolic acids. Esterification of phenolic acids (e.g. chlorogenic acid), however, reduces absorption.

During absorption, polyphenols are metabolized to form β-glucuronide and sulfate conjugates (phase II conjugation in the intestinal wall), and catechol units are methylated. C-glycosides such as puerarin remain stable and not conjugated. These metabolized forms show markedly different bioactivities from their aglycones.
