Abstract: In the study,apigenin-zinc complex was synthesized. The best reaction conditions are determined as follows:pH value 9.5,reaction temperature 30 ℃ and reaction time 70 min. Under these conditions,the yield of the complex is 82.62%. The solubility of the complex in water is 1.6 mg/ml,nearly 80 times of solubility of original apigenin. The complex ratio of apigenin to zinc is 2:1.

Key words: apigenin, zinc, complex
