Natural polyphenols have been used in foods, cosmetics, and medicines to exploit their functional properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antidepressant, analgesic, anti-mutation, and antitumor activities. Because of their protective property against reactive oxygen species in the human body, which are associated with aging-related chronic diseases, polyphenols have been considered as useful building blocks for biomaterials development. Here, recent studies on common polyphenols are summarized and their structural implications are discussed, providing insights into their molecular structure and related properties and evaluating the effect of structural modifications such as functional rearrangements, substitution reactions, and polymeric conjugations. The fundamental understanding of the chemical structure of polyphenols could diversify the strategy for the development of biomimetic, eco-friendly, and biocompatible materials.
Because of the beneficial properties of polyphenols, they play a significant role in cosmetics, medicines, and dietary ingredients. A systematic analysis of their chemical structures is of great value for the design of novel materials based on these building blocks.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
