Flavonoid content of some medicinal plants
Keywords:
Flavonoids, Kaempferol, Rutin, Apigenin, nutraceuticalsAbstract
Flavonoids are a class of polyphenolic compounds that are ubiquitous in plants and have been associated with numerous health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This study aimed to investigate the flavonoid content of several medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. The results demonstrate the presence of diverse flavonoid compounds in these plants, highlighting their potential as sources of natural, health-promoting phytochemicals.
