DescriptionQuercetin, also known as sophoretin or xanthaurine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, quercetin is considered to be a flavonoid. Quercetin exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Quercetin.
