Cover Picture . Quercetin, rutin and catechins are representatives of natural polyphenols, commonly found in plant products. These compounds are based on the structure of the flavan‐3‐ol, which is why the number, positions and types of substitutions affect the scavenging of radicals and other properties. Despite some inconsistent evidence, several structure‐activity relationships of monomeric flavonoids are well established in vitro . However, the relationships between the activity and other properties of the polymeric forms of flavonoids and their structure are poorly understood so far. The aim of this study, reported by Latos‐Brozio et al . in their review at 10.1002/cbdv.201900426, is to compare the data on polymerization of quercetin, rutin and catechin, as well as to systematize knowledge about the structure‐activity relationships of the polymeric forms of these compounds. This study was supported by the National Science Center, Poland (NCN), under grant no.: 2018/31/N/ST8/02565 .
