Abstract

We used DPPH scavenging assays to study the antioxidant activity of three native Polish species of blackberry leaves (Rubus kuleszae Ziel., R. fabrimontanus (Sprib.) Sprib. and R. capitulatus Utsch.). All the studied extracts (methanolic, water, methanolic-water) showed high DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC50 450.0–186.0 μg/ml). The most effective of the studied species was Rubus kuleszae. Total content of phenolic compounds (70.50–136.04 mg GAE/g) and phenolic acids (14.70–38.26 mg CAE/g) was determined spec-trophotometrically. Antioxidant activity correlated positively with total content of phenolic compounds and phe-nolic acids.
