Abstract

We studied the interaction with liposomes and the antioxidant activity of flavonoid (quercetin, catechin, taxifolin) complexes with iron(III). It was found that the lipophilicity of complexes depends on an iron:flavonoid ratio and grows at a ratio of 1 to 1, while complexes in a 2: 1 ratio were the most effective to slow down the lipid peroxidation and restore radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. Thus, the stoichiometry of complexes formed in aqueous solution, may differ from the stoichiometry of complexes that most effectively protect membranes from peroxidation.
