Abstract: Flavonoids are compounds based on a 2-phenylchromonone scaffold. Flavonoids can be divided
into flavonoids, flavonols, dihydroflavones, anthocyanins, chalcones and diflavones according to
the oxidation degree of the central tricarbonyl chain, the connection position of B-ring (2-or 3-position),
and whether the tricarbonyl chain forms a ring or not. There are a variety of biological activities about
flavonoids, such as anti-inflammatory activity, anti-oxidation and anti-tumor activity, and the antiinflammatory
activity is apparent. This paper reviews the anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms
of flavonoids and their derivatives reported in China and abroad from 2011 till date (2011-2020), in order
to find a good drug scaffold for the study of anti-inflammatory activities.
