Flavonol glycosides with free radical-scavenging activity of Saururus chinensis

Fitoterapia. 2005 Jan;76(1):115-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fitote.2004.10.011.

Abstract

An activity-guided fractionation procedure was used to identify the antioxidative components of the aerial parts of Saururus chinensis. The antioxidant activity was investigated with the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical- and superoxide anion-scavenging assays. Three active compounds (flavonol glycosides) were identified.
