Quercetin: A Dietary Flavonoid with Potential Pharmacological Activity: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Numerous research have looked at the antiviral activities of quercetin (Que) and its derivatives, which have been found to have beneficial impacts on human health by reducing the severity of chronic diseases and the consequences of ageing.   The antioxidant quercetin has been the subject of promising medical studies. We summarise its potential use in anti-infective, cardiovascular, and immunosuppressive treatment, as well as show that it can reduce the toxicity of mycotoxins, and we explain the antioxidant mechanism and broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiparasitic properties of this compound.  The metabolic interaction of quercetin with various antivirals, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs suggests that it is an acidic chemical. Therefore, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the physicochemical and metabolic drug interactions between quercetin and the combination drugs/compounds prior to the creation of novel formulations.
