Several flavonols have been transformed upon treatment by Trametes versicolor laccase. Most of the major oxidation products have been isolated by HPLC as pure compounds and their structures have been, when possible, investigated through spectral methods (HPLC-MS and NMR). The results are coherent with the predominance of a dismutation process, leading to cation formation, over direct radical-radical coupling. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
