Antioxidant and electrochemical properties of dihydroquercetin monosuccinate, the novel water-soluble bioflavonoid derivative

Dihydroquercetin monosuccinate is a synthetic derivative of native antioxidant dihydroquercetin, which has a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. Being more soluble in water than its precursor, the novel synthetic derivative of the bioflavonoid maintains a high antioxidant activity, which is confirmed by the TEAC method and the voltammetry data. The redox transformations of dihydriquercetin monosuccinate on a graphite electrode are more complicated as compared to the parent flavonoid.
