In the past decade, general interest and research activities focusing on anthocyanins have considerably increased. This increased interest is not only based on the common knowledge that these water-soluble pigments can be used as possible alternatives to artificial food colorants, but also it relates to their bioactive properties.

Finally, it should also be considered that flavonoid-rich foods contain a great diversity of compounds with bioactive properties (for e.g., carotenoids, other phenolics, fiber, and minerals), and multiple interactions occur among all of them. There is also great diversity in the ingestion, absorption, and metabolism of these compounds in different populations, and all of these circumstances could camouflage any effect of flavonoids on disease prevention or treatment.

An apical functionalization of clathrochelates enables one to obtain complexes with improved chemical, physicochemical, biomimetic, and bioactive properties and characteristics that are primary governed by functionalized groups [65]. The possibility of an apical modification of macrobicyclic a-dioximates and oximehydrazonates is indicated by the relative availability of functionalized boron-containing Lewis acids as efficient capping agents. 

It was the ability to act as a plant own source for the resistance of cereals towzirds pests, which immediately caused a really interdisciplinary research directed on the understanding of all aspects of this imique class of natural products, which is often named hydroxamic acids or cyclic hydroxamic acids. We will rather shortly call them benzoxazinoids or benzoxazinones for the following reasons. Though most of them contain a cyclic hydroxamic acid and some the related lactam, it is only by the direct combination with the cyclic hemiacetal unit that these compounds receive their unique bioactive properties. As mentioned below, the bioactivity is clearly enhanced by a donor substituent in position 7. Hence, to avoid misinterpretations of the features responsible for biological effects, the neutral terms benzoxazinones or benzoxazinoids, are better suitable to name the class.
