Plant distribution and pharmacological activity of flavonoidsLucyPi1
Abstract Flavonoids are natural organic compounds that are widely found in nature, their structural types are complex, and they mainly include flavonoids, flavonols, dihydroflavonols, isoflavones, dihydroisoflavones, chalcones, orange ketones, flavanoids, anthocyanidins, and biflavonoids. This review covers the plant distribution and pharmacological activities of flavonoids. Flavonoids are mainly distributed in angiosperms and gymnosperms, and they are abundant in plants such as Rutaceae, Labiatae, Zingiberaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Leguminosae. Because of their wide distribution and variety, researchers have found that flavonoids have diverse biological activities, mainly focusing on anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antitumor activities. Mechanistically, the anti-inflammatory effects are mainly related to the NF-κB and MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling pathway and then the inhibition of the production of inflammatory cytokines and mediators. The antibacterial activity is mainly manifested as inhibitory effects on many strains, including Escherichia coli, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, via destroying the stability of the microbial membrane, inhibiting the invasion of virulent bacteria into host cells, promoting the apoptosis of bacteria, inhibiting bacterial fatty acid synthesis, etc. The antitumor activity of flavonoids is related to their inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis via the mitochondria-mediated, endoplasmic reticulum-mediated, and death factor and its receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways. Understanding the plant distribution and pharmacological activity of flavonoids not only reveals the importance of identifying such valuable flavonoids in another genus or family but also provides a basis for fully exploiting the therapeutic potential of flavonoids.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. INTRODUCTION
Flavonoids are a group of phenolic compounds with 15 carbon
atoms; 2 benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain
having a C6-C3-C6 carbon skeleton (Maria et al., 2012).
They act as antioxidants; and their anti-oxidative property depends
on the molecular structure, presence of conjugated double bonds
and the occurrence of functional groups in the rings.
Flavonoids are polar and soluble in methanol and water.
Widely distributed in different amounts, according to the plant
species, organ, developmental stage and growth conditions.
3. Introduction Contd
The antioxidant activities of flavonoids for example,
present in tea, red wine, hops and beer, fruits
vegetable e.t.c.
They have been known to have antiviral, anti-allergic,
anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities etc. They
also provide stress protection.
4. Structure of Flavonoids
Their basic structure is a skeleton of diphenylpropane, namely, two
benzene rings (ring A and B) linked by a three carbon chain that
forms a closed pyran ring (heterocyclic ring containing oxygen, the
C ring) with benzenic A ring. Therefore, their structure is also
referred to as C6-C3-C6.
In most cases, B ring is attached to position 2 of C ring, but it can
also bind in position 3 or 4; this, together with the structural features
of the ring B and the patterns of glycosylation and hydroxylation of
the three rings, makes the flavonoids one of the largest and more
diversified groups of phytochemicals.
6. BIOSYNTHESIS OF FLAVONOIDS
• The biosynthesis of flavonoids start with the
condensation of one P-coumaroylCoA molecule
(shikimate derived, B ring) with three molecules of
malonyl-CoA (polyketid origin, A ring) to give
chalcone (2′, 4′, 6′, 4-tetrahydroxychalcone) catalized
by chalcone synthase (CHS) enzyme.
• Chalcone is subsequently isomerized by the enzyme
chalcone flavanone isomerase (CHI) to flavanone
• From these central intermediates, the pathway
diverges into several side branches, each yielding a
different class of flavonoids

13. REGULATORY MECHANISM
The synthesis of flavonoids begins from phenylalanine in the shikimate pathway,
converting phenylalanine into 4-coumaroyl- CoA, which then enters the flavonoid
biosynthesis pathway through chalcone intermediate (Maria et al., 2012).
Regulatory enzyme specific for flavonoid pathway includes Phenylalanin Ammonia
Lyase (PAL), Chalcone synthase (CHS), the enzyme produces Chalcone scaffolds from
which all flavonoids derive, also Flavone 3-Hydroxylase (F3-H), which regulate the
biosynthesis of Leucocyanidine in addition to these regulatory enzymes are
Anthocyanidine synthase (ANS) (also known as Leucothocyanidin dioxygenase
(LDOX)) that regulate the biosynthesis of Anthocyanidins and Glutathion S-Transferase
(GST) that regulate the biosynthesis of Anthocyanins.
16. Conclusion
Flavonoids are found in most plant tissues – where they provide
brilliant colors that attract pollinators. The pigments act as
antioxidants and sunscreens, absorbing UV radiation.
Their biosynthesis appears to be ubiquitous in plants and evolved
early in life, providing protection and signaling in plants .
The regulatory mechanism is both genetic and subcellular
localization of flavonoid pathways with Chalcone synthase being the
first regulatory enzyme specific for flavonoid biosynthesis.
