To provide an integrated translational review of quercetin's molecular mechanisms, metabolism, bioavailability constraints, advanced formulation strategies, and therapeutic applications.
Synthesized evidence on the dietary sources, chemical characteristics, absorption kinetics, and gut-microbiota metabolism of quercetin.
Evaluated pharmacokinetic barriers, advanced drug delivery systems, cellular senescence pathways, combination therapies, and regulatory safety profiles.
Quercetin demonstrates broad antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antiviral, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anticancer activities.
Therapeutic efficacy remains limited by poor stability and low systemic bioavailability, necessitating advanced delivery systems and standardized formulations to achieve clinically meaningful exposures.
