Flavonoids are phytoconstituents with anti‐inflammatory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and antimicrobial properties. Herein, we listed and contextualized various aspects of the protective effects of the flavonols quercetin, isoquercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin and the flavones luteolin, apigenin, 3′,4′‐dihydroxyflavone, baicalein, scutellarein, lucenin‐2, vicenin‐2, diosmetin, nobiletin, tangeretin, and 5‐O‐methyl‐scutellarein. We presented their structural characteristics and…
