摘要: Abstract The antioxidant potentials of a total ethanolic extract Hypericum perforatum (TE) and fractions were evaluated correlated with their phenolic contents. extracts fully characterised by HPLC–DAD–MS–MS. Kaempferol 3-rutinoside rutin-acetyl identified for the first time in TE extracts. free radical-scavenging properties (EC50=21 μg dwb/ml) studied using DPPH. Fractions containing flavonoids and/or caffeoylquinic acids found to be main contributors activity TE. Lipid peroxidation, induced ascorbate/Fe2+, was significantly reduced presence (EC50=26 acids. fraction flavonoid aglycones responsible major part protection against lipid peroxidation. Hypericins hyperforins made no significant contributions Human consumption H. or could beneficial.
