Abstract: The total phenolic content, flavonoid content, in vitro xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity (AA) of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver leaf extracts were investigated. The AA investigations included 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching assay and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) test. The ethyl acetate fraction (EE) showed the highest AA and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. Whilst the lowest 50% inhibition (IC50) value of this fraction for DPPH free radical scavenging was 0.045mg/mL, its highest ORAC value was 10.57 µmol TE/mg. The highest inhibition rate against linoleic acid oxidation observed was 69.41%, and the lowest IC50 value for xanthine oxidase activity inhibition was 2.47mg/mL. These results show that E. ulmoides leaf extract is a promising source of natural antioxidants because it contains high contents of bioactive compounds, including chlorogenic acid, rutin, hyperin and astragalin, as detected by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS.
