Review on Structural Trends and Chemotaxonomical Aspects of Pharmacologically Evaluated Flavonoids.

Introduction: This work provides statistical analyses of bibliographic data on pharmacologically evaluated flavonoids from different plant families. By opposition to structural elucidations benefitting from full data aspects, pharmacological evaluations are concerned with partial investigations resulting in sparse information.

Methods: The limited data availability was overcome by extensive consideration of several small sets of pharmacologically evaluated flavonoids in several plant taxa, alternatively to the traditional intensive analysis of big dataset of a given metabolic family in a given plant taxon.
