Abstract
This study was undertaken in order to investigate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of various fractions and compounds obtained from the bark of P. hupehensis. The ethyl acetate fraction exhibited strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Six compounds were isolated from this fraction, three of which showed antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity. The biological activities and the active compounds of P. hupehensis were reported for the first time.
Keywords:
Bioactive compounds; Pterocarya hupehensis; anti-inflammatory; antioxidant.
