Applied Biological Chemistry Submit manuscript

Abstract

Myricetin (3,5,7,3′,4′,5′-hexahydroxyflavone) is one of the natural flavonols from fruit, vegetable, tea, and medicinal plants. A great deal of attention has been paid to this compound owing to its various health-promoting effects. In this review, we provide a comprehensive discussion of the therapeutic potential of myricetin by focusing on its biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties.
