Basic structure of flavonoids and their subclasses. The core structure of flavonoids is a diphenylpropane skeleton (C6-C3-C6), which contains two phenyl rings and one heterocyclic ring. Based on their chemical structure, flavonoids can be further classified further into flavones, flavanones, flavanols, flavonols, isoflavones, and anthocyanins/anthocyanidins.
