STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC ELUCIDATION OF AURONE DERIVATIVES: AN ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION

Abstract

Aurones, a subclass of flavonoids, have gained significant attention due to their diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties. Accurate characterization of these derivatives is essential for establishing their structural integrity and pharmacological potential. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the characterization techniques used for aurone derivatives, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The findings confirm the successful synthesis of aurone derivatives, with Au-4 exhibiting the most favorable structural and physicochemical properties. This characterization study forms the foundation for further biological evaluations and potential pharmaceutical applications.
