Abstract

The inhibitory effects of the leaves of Eucalyptus darylmpleana (Myrtaceae) on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The scavenging effect of the ethyl acetate fraction of Eucalyptus darylmpleana leaves on DPPH radical was stronger than the other fractions, and further purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, quercetin, quercetin $3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnoside$, quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-_D-glucoside$ and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside were isolated and elucidated by spectroscopic data. Among these components, gallic acid and quercetin $3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnoside$ exhibited potent scavenging activities on DPPH radical with $IC_{50}$ values of 6.02 and $5.54\;{\mu}M$, respectively.
