Abstract

Over the past several decades, thousands of natural organic compounds have been isolated from foods, and the information about their structures and biological activities has been accumulated. Despite the long research history of food products and their potential great promise as a medicine and functional food, the systematic research and development have not been carried out extensively. For understanding of the comprehensive structure-activity relationship, we have developed the database system of flavonoids, which are frequently found in vegetables and fruits. We also plan to execute a virtual screening of flavonoids with antidepressant activity by using the database and an advanced chemoinformatic tool. In this section, we will briefly describe (1) flavonoid database and (2) virtual screening of antidepressant compounds.
