Five flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the butanol‐soluble fraction of thyme extracts. Their structures were determined by spectral analyses (NMR, MS). Their antioxidant activity was evaluated in two models (DPPH radical scavenging and Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity). The most active compounds were found to be eriodictyol‐7‐rutinoside and luteolin ‐7‐O‐β‐glucopyranoside.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
