Abstract:

 Rhododendron species Ericaceae is considered the most diverse group, with more than 1200 species famous for their colorful flowers. Rhododendron, also known as azalea, is a flowering tree in the Ericaceae family. Herein, in vitro antioxidant activities of acetone and methanol extracts of Rhododendron ponticum leaves were studied along with their phenolic contents using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with a Diode-Array Detector HPLC-DAD. Antioxidant activity was performed spectrophotometrically using ABTS, DPPH, CUPRAC, and β-carotenelinoleic acid assays. Acetone extract showed better antioxidant activity than methanol extract in all tests. The HPLC-DAD analysis revealed fifteen phenolic compounds, of which seven were common for both extracts. Catechin 25.80 and 33.08 mgg extract, respectively and epicatechin 31.15 and 26.54 mgg extract, respectively were calculated as major phenolic components in acetone and methanol extracts.
