Screening of the antioxidant activity of extracts from Hedera helix leaves using the HPLC/ABTS method

SUMMARY

Hedera helix is widely used as a remedy to treat the respiratory infections and cold accompanied with cough due to its anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, the antioxidant activity of its extracts has been confirmed. It is explained by the high content of flavonoids and phenolic acids among all phytochemicals of H. helix leaves. However, it remains uncertain which exactly components are responsible for the antioxidant activity and what is the best way to perform extraction.Conclusions. The results obtained indicate that extracts from H. helix leaves possess the high antioxidant scavenging capacity. In addition, the in vitro HPLC method proposed can be used for the primary screening of components in the plant raw material.
