The methanol extract of the aerial part of Daucus carota var. sativus showed a stronger antioxidative activity than the standard synthetic antioxidant, 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA). From this extract, five known compounds, luteolin 7-O--glucopyranoside (1), chrysoeriol 7-O--glucopyranoside (2), chlorogenic acid (3), maltol 3-O--glucopyranoside (4) and benzyl -glucopyranoside (5) were isolated. Among them, when 1-4 were investigated for their antioxidative activity using the ferric thiocyanate method, 1-3 indicated an antioxidative activity. The scavenging effect of 1-4 on the stable free radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl was also examined. Compounds 1 and 3 showed a scavenging effect. In addition, 1-3 were assayed for their inhibitory effects on the activation of inactive hyaluronidase induced by compound 48/80. All tested compounds showed this effect.
