Abstract

Six antioxidative compounds in the aerial parts of Potentilla fragarioides were isolated by a bioassay guided purification using a DPPH free radical. They were identified as (+)-catechin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$, caffeic acid, and 4-O-caffeoyl-L-threonic acid on the basis of $^{1}H$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ and MS data. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of five compounds $(RC_{50}:\;7.5{\sim}10.5\;{\mu}g)$ except for quercitrin $(16\;{\mu}g)$ was more effective than those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ $(12\;{\mu}g)$ and BHA $(14\;{\mu}g)$.
