An anti-neurodegeneration activity study was carried out for 80 flavonoid compounds. The structure–activity analysis of the structures was carried out by performing three different anti-neurodegeneration screening tests, showing that in these structures, the presence of a hydroxy substituent group at position C3′ as well as C5′ of ring B and a methoxy substituent group at the C7 position of ring A play a vital role in neuroprotective and antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory activity. Further, we found structure (5) was the top-performing active structure out of 80 structures. Subsequently, a molecular docking study was carried out for the 3 lead flavonoid compounds (4), (5), and (23) and 21 similar hypothetical proposed structures to estimate the binding strength between the tested compounds and proteins potentially involved in disease causation. Ligand-based pharmacophores were generated to guide future drug design studies.
