Abstract
Flavonoids are secondary plant metabolities of the polyphenol family with a diversity of biological functions. Most metal-flavonoid complexes are found to have considerably higher antioxidant effects than free flavonoids. Molecular mechanisms of antioxidant activity of flavonoids increased by metal ions are poorly understood.

In our studies, binding of flavonoids (apigenin, kaempferol and luteolin) with metal ions, and radical scavenging activities of corresponding complexes were investigated in detail. Structural factors, such as coordinate proportions of metal ions and flavonoids and steric orientations affecting activities of metal-flavonoid complexes as antioxidants, are elucidated.
