Flavone and flavonol glycosides

  • Chapter
The Flavonoids

Abstract

By 1975, some 360 flavone and flavonol glycosides were known to occur in the plant kingdom (Harborne and Williams, 1975). In the following five years, this number doubled so that some 720 structures were listed in our first supplement (Harborne and Williams, 1982). The pace of discovery during 1981–1985 has not slowed down and we now list at the end of this book nearly a thousand substances. This is a conservative estimate in the sense that a number of partly characterized glycosides, which probably differ in mode of linkage or in the type of sugar configuration from those reported here, have been described but are not included in our lists. It is to be regretted that some investigators still do not characterize their glycosides with the necessary rigour to establish the structures unambiguously. As before, the term ‘glycoside’ is used in its widest sense and we include here flavones and flavonols which are acylated and sulphated as well as glycosylated.
