In order to find the antioxidative compounds, fractionation of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida guided by DPPH scavenging test furnished seven phenolic compounds, $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (1), myricetin-3-O-rhamnose (2), $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-galctopyranoside$ (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$ (4), quercetin (5), $apigenin-8-C-{\beta}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (2'-O-rhamnosylvitexin) (6) and (-)-epicatechin (7). All of isolated compounds showed the significant antioxidative effect on DPPH free radical scavenging test and TBARS assay.
