Descriptor benzoflavonas
Scope note: Compuestos orgánicos que contienen un anillo BENCENO unido a un grupo flavona. Algunos de ellos son potentes inhibidores de la arilhidrocarburo hidroxilasa. Asimismo, pueden inhibir la unión de los ÁCIDOS NUCLEICOS a los BENZOPIRENOS y compuestos afines. La designación incluye todos los isómeros, de los cuales el isómero 7,8- es el más frecuente.
