Context: In Iranian traditional medicine, different species of the genus Tetrataenium are used as antiseptic, spice and food additives. Objective: The present study examined the possible antioxidant effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of different parts of Tetrataenium lasiopetalum (Boiss.) Manden (Apiaceae). Materials and methods: Laminas, stems, petioles, fruits, peduncles and flowers of T. lasiopetalum were collected, dried and then extracted by ethanol and water (70:30). Antioxidant activities of extracts were examined by employing different in vitro assays, i.e., 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, metal chelating, reducing power activities and hemoglobin-induced linoleic acid system. Also, total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts were evaluated. Results: Hydro-alcoholic extract of T. lasiopetalum flower showed the highest activity in scavenging of DPPH (IC 50 ¼ 170 AE 7 mg/mL). In metal chelating assay, lamina extract possesses a better iron ion chelating activity than other extracts (230 AE 10 mg/mL). Lamina hydro-alcoholic extract demonstrated better activity in reducing the power and hemoglobin-induced linoleic acid system than other parts of T. lasiopetalum. Discussion and conclusion: These results showed the antioxidant activity of different parts of T. lasiopetalum based on its usage in traditional medicine.
