Abstract:
A structural and electronic characterization of some flavonoid
compounds with chemopreventive activity shows that some
structural and electronic features of the compounds studied are
relevant to understand their biological activity. The flavonoid
compounds studied were classified as having an electron-accepting
character and the absence of a ring in the structure of the compounds
seems to be important to explain the chemopreventive activity
presented by these compounds.
