      They exhibit a wide range of functions in physiology, biochemistry, and ecology, for example in UV-protection, flower coloration, interspecies interaction, and plant defense [1]. Other highly remarkable properties of some flavonoids are their nutritional values and therapeutic benefits for humans [2,6–9]. 2-Arylchroman-4-ones have received considerable attention due to their favorable pharmacological properties [4,10,11], which include antioxidant [12–14], anticancer [5,15–25], antibacterial [12,26,27], anti-inflammatory [28,29], antiviral [30], neuroprotective [31], cardioprotective [8,32], antiallergic [33], analgesic [12] and other [34–37] activities.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Flavonoids exhibit strong antioxidant and radical scavenging activity [3,4] and they seem to be related to reduced risk for several chronic diseases [5], the prevention of some cardiovascular disorders [6] and some certain types of cancerous processes [7,8]. They also have antiviral [9], antimicrobial [10] and anti-inflammatory activities [11], beneficial influences on capillary fragility [12] and an ability to inhibit human platelet aggregation [13], antiulcer [14] and antiallergenic [15] features. As seen from the above-mentioned studies, flavonoids have a broad range of biochemical and pharmacological actions, implying that they have a substantial impact on basic cell processes such as growth, differentiation, and/or programmed cell death (apoptosis) [16].
