Abstract

Antioxidant activity (AA) of the crude extract and fractions derived from Inula cappa, was evaluated using the α, α- diphenyl- ß-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, superoxide radical scavenging assay, measurement ofreducing power and the measurement of effect on lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate, and compared with thatof butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), gallic acid (GA), and ascorbic acid (AscA). The results showed that the methanolicextract and the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction exhibited higher antioxidant activity. The total phenolic, total tannin andtotal fl avonoids content were also determined. Chlorogenic acid is reported for the fi rst time from this plant and a TLCdensitometric method was developed for the quantifi cation of Chlorogenic acid.
