  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

Phytochemical examination of Barks of Ulmus macrocarpa isolated two flavanone, three flavanonol, three flavan 3-ol and one procyanidin compounds. We also determinated the antioxidative activity of these compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Three flavan 3-ol (catechin, epicatechin and catechin-7-O-$\beta$-O-xylopyranoside) and procyanidin B1 showed significant antioxidative activity. (omitted)
