| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Quercetin is the major polyphenol included in various fruits and vegetables. To understand the localization and target sites of quercetin underlying the bioactivity in vivo, we planned to develop monoclonal antibodies directed to quercetin aglycone and its degradation product. However, the developed antibodies scarcely recognized the haptens. These results suggested that the antibodies were difficult to available for immunochemical studies. On the other hands, we investigated the deconjugation mechanism of quercetin metabolites in healthy/inflammation animal models. This study suggested that the deconjugation of quercetin metabolites at sites of inflammation was contributed to the anti-inflammatory activity in vivo.
