Widely-Targeted Metabolomics of Flavonoids

Flavonoids refer to a class of compounds with chromone ring and benzene ring as the basic structure of the general term, is a plant in the long-term process of natural selection of some secondary metabolites, widely present in the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of higher plants. Flavonoids are the most critical phytochromes for flower coloring, producing petal pigments to attract pollinators and acting as chemical messengers, physiological regulators, and cell cycle inhibitors.

Lifeasible has extensive experience serving the plant research community. We use an LC-MS/MS-based platform and MRM gold standard for quantification, as well as internal and external isotopic standards for absolute quantification of a wide range of flavonoids in our clients' samples.

Classes and roles of flavonoids

Flavonoids are numerous, complex, and diverse in structure, including flavonoids and flavonols, dihydroflavonoids and dihydroflavonols, isoflavonoids and isoflavonols, flavanols, anthocyanins, biflavonoids, chalcones, etc. Flavonoids have a wide range of physiological and biochemical roles. They have essential preventive and curative values against human diseases such as anti-tumor, anti-cardiovascular, antibacterial, and antiviral effects, immunomodulatory effects, anti-radiation effects, and so on.

We provide a database of detectable flavonoids

Applied directions
