  • Title: Metabolite profiling and antioxidant activity of Prunus padus L. flowers and leaves.
    Author: Olszewska MA, Kwapisz A.
    Journal: Nat Prod Res; 2011 Jul; 25(12):1115-31. PubMed ID: 21347973.
    Abstract:
    Six phenolics were obtained from the leaves of Prunus padus by activity-guided isolation: isorhamnetin 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-galactopyranoside (1), astragalin (2), hyperoside (3), quercetin 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-galactopyranoside (4), quercetin 3-O-β-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-glucopyranoside (5) and chlorogenic acid (6). The antioxidant potential of 70% methanolic extracts from the flowers and leaves collected over the growing season was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and 2,2′-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced linoleic acid (LA) peroxidation tests in relation to the contents of the isolates 1-6, total phenolics, total proanthocyanidins and total quercetin. The IC₅₀ values were expressed in gram dry weight per gram of DPPH or LA, respectively, and were in the range of 1.42-2.42 for the DPPH test and 1.78-4.92 for the LA peroxidation, with superior activity found for the flowers and the autumn leaves. Significant linear correlation of these values to the sum of proanthocyanidins and compounds 1-6 (R² > 0.87) showed that the listed phenolics are synergists of the tested activity.
