The flavonoids kaempferol, quercetin, myrecetin, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside and quercetrin has been isolated from the leaves of C. tamala and their structures were established by spectral analysis and direct comparison with authentic samples. This is the first report of occurrence of these compounds from C. tamala.

The present study aims to detect the rare flavonoids isolated from the leaves of Persicaria glabra. The known flavonoids: quercetin (1), isorhamnetin (2), avicularin (3) and new one isorhamnetin-3-O-α-L-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl)-rhamnoside (4) were identified by HPLC, UV, IR and NMR. P. glabra has used traditionally for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties. To find out the ingredients responsible for the efficiency of this plant, we have used to study the anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities of different extracts.

We examined the inhibitory activities of various flavonoids, including the flavanones, flavones/isoflavones and flavonols, on collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum to establish their therapeutic potential against skin inflammation and photoaging. In general, the flavonols were stronger inhibitors than the flavones/isoflavones, and this indicated the importance of the C-3 hydroxyl substitution. Quercetin was the most active flavonoid among those tested, and it showed an $IC_{50}$ of 286 ${\mu}M$. These novel results suggest that certain flavonoids, particularly the flavonols, may prevent collagen breakdown by inhibiting collagenase in inflamed skin as well as photoaged skin.

Flavonoids are well-known anti-inflammatory agents that exert their effects via a variety of mechanisms including antioxidative action, inhibition of eicosanoid metabolizing enzymes and regulation of theexpression of proinflammatory molecules. In this review, synthetic approaches to obtain more useful flavonoid derivatives are summarized. Human clinical trials of flavonoid therapy are discussed. Through continual investigation to identify more potent and comparable flavonoids, new anti-inflammatory flavonoid therapy will be successfully launched, especially for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders.

There have been various inflammatory skin disorders in humans including atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. Although some drugs have been used for these disorders, there is an urgent need for safer and more effective topical anti-inflammatory agents. Plant flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory activity and some of them have multiple pharmacological mechanisms, inhibition of eicosanoid metabolizing enzymes, histamine release and/or down-regulation of pro inflammatory gene expression. These properties of flavonoids may be suitable for treating chronic skin inflammatory disorders. Especially, wogonin, some prenylated flavonoids and biflavonoids have a strong potential as new anti-inflammatory agents by topical application.

The protective effects of 24 flavonoids against singlet oxygen - induced photohemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes were investigated and compared with their antioxidant activities. 1. All the flavonoid aglycons investigated besides flavone and 7,8-benzoflavone showed tad dose-dependant Protective effects. Especially galagin showed the most Pronounced effect under the experimental condition. 2. The order of the radical-scavenging activities of flavonoids was as follow (-)-EGCG > flavonols > flavonols > flavones > flavanonols. The radical-scavenging activities of flavonoid glycosides were not different from those of their aglycons. 3. When added after irradiation, flavonoids did not alter the photohemolysis pattern of control. In this study, several antioxidant were found and it was newly found that Photohemolysis experiment is a convenient, reproductive diagnostic method in the screening and researching the compound which has antioxidant activity or protective effect on cell membrane against active oxygen species.
