Abstract
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds found to have enormous pharmacological activity, Naringin, a molecule with a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity still has not been used for treatment of any diseases due to its lacking potency. The present study was focused to synthesize various derivatives of naringin and to evaluate their antioxidant activity. Compounds, N.a, N.l, N.k, N.l have shown very potent antioxidant activity. Many literatures have claimed that many free radicals are responsible for carcinogenesis, and these compounds have very good scavenging properties. Thus these compounds can further be studied for their anticancer property and these compounds could be useful in discovering a new lead moiety for cancer.
