Abstract: Quercetin (QCT) is one of the main flavonoids compounds in fruits, vegetables and herbs, and has drawn wide attention in recent years. In this paper, the distribution of literatures concerning quercetin from 2007 to 2016 was analyzed. The results showed that the number of the published literatures on quercetin presented an increasing trend. Then the research advances in pharmacokinetics of quercetin and its biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-Alzheimer disease, anti-depression and immunoregulation were reviewed to provide a reference for future research and utilization of quercetin.
