Abstract
On the purpose of develcpement of antioxidative compound from natural sources, medicinal plants known to have antioxidant actuvity have been examined concening DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD-liked activities. Among 8 plants exhibiting the activity, Houttuynia cordata THUNB was selected as resources to search for active compounds due to rareness of study. The antioxidative compounds from Houttuynia cordata THUNB,quercitrin was assayed using a DPPH free radical. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of quercitrin was similar to that of BHA and Ascorbic acid
