Highlights
Flavonoids represent a large group of polyphenolic compounds which belong to plant secondary metabolites
A meticulous regulation of copper homeostasis is necessary because unbound copper ions participate in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the catalysis of the Fenton-like reaction which causes damage to various biological structures.[12]
In contrast to trientine which formed the same complex at all pH conditions, luteolin formed likely the complex 1 : 1 at pH 5.5 while the stoichiometry of complexes with baicalein and myricetin was on average between 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 at this pH and it could not be established with certainty from the current experiment
Summary
Flavonoids represent a large group of polyphenolic compounds which belong to plant secondary metabolites. Their ubiquity in the plant kingdom and high content especially in fruits and vegetables make them a common component of the human diet. A meticulous regulation of copper homeostasis is necessary because unbound copper ions participate in the formation of ROS due to the catalysis of the Fenton-like reaction which causes damage to various biological structures.[12] A typical example of copper homeostasis disorder is Wilson's disease, which is caused by the chronic copper overload due to a speci c genetic abnormality.[13] Despite some controversy, the disruption of copper homeostasis is involved in various pathological states including neurodegenerative diseases, tumours and acute myocardial infarction.[14,15,16,17]
