Abstract:
This article examines the bioactivity of medicinal plants with a focus on
flavonoids, one of the most widely distributed classes of plant secondary metabolites. The review
analyzes their structural features, mechanisms of pharmacological action, antioxidant capacities,
anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, as well as their role in chronic disease prevention.
Modern approaches to studying flavonoid bioavailability, metabolic pathways, clinical relevance,
and their therapeutic potential in developing new phytopharmaceuticals are also discussed.
