Quercetin derivatives are widespread in the plant kingdom and exhibit various biological actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the structure-activity relationships of quercetin derivatives, with a focus on the influence of functional groups and sugar composition on their antioxidant capacity. A series of quercetin derivatives were therefore prepared and assessed for their DPPH radical scavenging properties. Isoquercetin O-gallates were more potent radical scavengers than quercetin. The systematic analysis highlights the importance of the distribution of hydroxy substituents in isoquercetin O-gallates to their potency.

This report describes the efficient synthesis of quercetin 3-O-[6"-O-(trans-pcoumaroyl)]- β-D-glucopyranoside 1 (isoquercitrin coumarate), an acylated quercetin glycoside possessing antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. The synthesis is initiated from commercially available quercetin via regioselective benzylation of quercetin to produce 4', 7-di-O-benzylquercetin (4). Through 4, 1 was successfully achieved via selective β-glycosylation of the 3-OH, acylation of 6"-OH, and finally debenzylation via catalytic transfer hydrogenation. Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
