Myricetin quercetin

Effects of Allelochemlcals on ATPases. Several flavonoid compounds inhibit ATPase activity that is associated with mineral absorption. Phloretin and quercetin (100 pM) inhibited the plasma membrane ATPase Isolated from oat roots (33). The naphthoquinone juglone was inhibitory also. However, neither ferulic acid nor salicylic acid inhibited the ATPase. Additional research has shown that even at 10 mM salicylic acid inhibits ATPase activity only 10-15% (49). This lack of activity by salicylic acid was substantiated with the plasma membrane ATPase Isolated from Neurospora crassa (50) however, the flavonols fisetln, morin, myricetin, quercetin, and rutin were inhibitory to the Neurospora ATPase. Flavonoids inhibited the transport ATPases of several animal systems also (51-53). Thus, it appears that flavonoids but not phenolic acids might affect mineral transport by inhibiting ATPase enzymes.

A new poly(7-oxobomene-5,6-dicarboxylic acid-Wod -norbomene)-coa(cd silica has been synthesized and applied for the separation of flavonoids in model systems and in the extracts of onion, elder flower blossom, lime blossom, St. John s Wort and red wine. Separation was performed in a (150 X 4 mm i.d. particle size 7 /rm) column at room temperature. Flavonoids (quercitrin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol and acacetin) were separated with gradient elution water-ACN (20 mmol TFA) from 78 22 to 70 30 v/v in 3min. The flow rate was 2 ml/min. The separation of the standard mixture is shown in Fig. 2.51. It has been stated that the method is rapid, accurate and the MS detection makes possible the reliable identification of flavonoids [153],... 

As previously mentioned, certain flavonoids can penetrate into the hydrophobic core of membranes, a feature that mainly relies on their hydrophobic character, which is dictated by flavanoid chemical structure and spatial conformation. When flavonoid hydrophobicity was assessed from the partition coefficient between ra-octanol and an aqueous solution, the following order of hydrophobicity was observed flavone, genistein > eriodictyol, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, hesperetin, daidzein > > galangin, morin, flavanone, naringenin, taxifolin (Table 4.1).

Some bioactive flavonols include aldose reductase inhibitors (axillarin (5,7,3, 4 -tetrahy-droxy-6-methoxyflavone), 2,3-dihydroquercetin (taxifolin), 6-hydroxykaempferol (galetin), hyperin (quercetin 3-0-galactoside), isoquercetrin, morin (3,5,7,2, 4 -pentahydroxy-flavone), quercetin, quercitrin and rutin) anti-inflammatory 5-LOX inhibitors (fisetin (3,7,3, 4 -tetrahydroxyflavone), kaempferol, morin, myricetin, quercetin and rutin) a GOX inhibitor (galangin (3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone)) iodothyronine deiodinase inhibitors (fisetin, kaempferol and morin) NADH and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (fisetin and myricetin) and protein kinase inhibitors (fisetin, galangin, isorhamnetin, kaempferide... 

Flavonols are the most common flavonoids in plant-derived food products, and they often occur as glycosidic combinations of myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol and their methyl ethers (isorhamnetin and tamarixetin). Flavonols are relevant in onions, apples, green tea, grapes,...

Similar assay of the detection systems is performed by Stecher et al., who analyzed flavonols and stilbenes in wine and biological products and found that ESI-MS detection gave two, three, and nine times lower limit of detection (LOD) for myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol. 

In products with complex combinations of various types of flavonoids and other phenolic compounds, effort has been made to ascribe the antioxidant activity of the product to different classes of polyphenols. Frankel et al. (1995) studied 20 selected California wines and related the antioxidant activity to the polyphenolic components of the wines, rather than to resveratrol. Antioxidant activity was measured by the ability of the wines to inhibit copper-catalyzed oxidation of human LDL. The correlation coefficient between antioxidant activity and total phenolic components of the wines was r = 0.94. Individual phenolic compounds (gallic acid, catechin, myricetin, quercetin, caffeic acid, rutin, epicatechin, cyanidin, malvidin-3-glucoside) contributed to the antioxidant activity. The correlation coefficient for the compounds ranged from r = 0.92 to r = 0.38 in descending order.

It is well known that in reversed phase the retention time of phenolic compounds is higher for substances that are less polar (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol), while polar molecules as gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, epigallocatechin are eluted faster [43], Alternative high-strength silica (HSS) T3 columns have also been investigated. 

Kaempferol and morin had antioxidative activity equal to myricetin, quercetin and fisetin in the presence of Cu ions, but were much less effective for Fe, V, or Cd ions (Sugihara et al. 1999).
