Abstract
Flavonoid metal complexes commonly exhibit an improvement of biological activity compared to the parent ligands. This chapter is focused on the antioxidant and anticanc-cer properties of flavonoid metal complexes, in correlation with their binding ability to vital macromolecules such as nucleic acids and serum proteins. Perspectives for an adequate formulation of these complexes were also discussed.Keywords
