Stable conjugates: Two pivaloxymethyl (POM) groups were introduced at the 3‐ and 7‐hydroxy groups of quercetin to provide a 3,7‐bis‐ O ‐POM derivative (shown) with exceptional stability in cell culture media and efficient cellular uptake. Hydrolyzed to the 3‐ O ‐POM derivative in cytoplasm, the quercetin conjugate exhibits a significant cytostatic effect in various cancer cell lines.
