Backbone of a flavanol, substituent numbers are indicated.

Flavonols (with an "o") are a class of flavonoids that have the 3-hydroxyflavone backbone (IUPAC name : 3-hydroxy-2-phenylchromen-4-one). Their diversity stems from the different positions the phenolic -OH groups. They are distinct from flavanols (with an "a"), another class of flavonoids (see catechin for this class).

Flavonols are present in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. In Western populations, estimated daily intake is in the range of 20-50 mg per day for flavonols. Individual intake varies depending on the type of diet consumed. [1]

[edit] Drug interactions

Flavonoid have effects on CYP (P450) activity. Flavonols are inhibitor of CYP2C9 [2] and CYP3A4[1], which are enzymes that metabolize most drugs in the body.
