Naturally occurring chromone glycosides: Sources, bioactivities, and spectroscopic features Yhiya Amen, Marwa Elsbaey, Ahmed Othman, Mahmoud Sallam, Kuniyoshi Shimizu Molecules, 2021 Chromone glycosides comprise an important group of secondary metabolites. They are widely distributed in plants and, to a lesser extent, in fungi and bacteria. Significant biological activities, including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimicrobial, etc., have been discovered for chromone glycosides, suggesting their potential as drug leads. This review compiles 192 naturally occurring chromone glycosides along with their sources, classification, biological activities, and spectroscopic features. Detailed biosynthetic pathways and chemotaxonomic studies are also described. Extensive spectroscopic features for this class of compounds have been thoroughly discussed, and detailed 13C-NMR data of compounds 1–192, have been added, except for those that have no reported 13C-NMR data.
