Abstract

Bioflavonoids are semi-essential food components that are ubiquitously present in nature. It has been reported that flavonoids act as anti-oxidant as well as anti-cancer agents. Quercetin is one of the most widely distributed bioflavonoids in the plant kingdom. The goal of this study was to investigate effects of quercetin analogs extracted from Lindera erythrocarpa, quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-arabinofuranoside and quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L -rhamnoside, on oxidatie stress-induced cell death.
