A modifiedin vitrolipid peroxidation inhibition assay was used to guide the fractionation and the isolation of antioxidative principles of Finnish pine bark extract. This approach yielded 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (protocatechuic acid) and taxifolin-3-O-β-glucopyranoside as major antioxidative compounds from the plant material. The structural elucidation of these compounds was undertaken with the help of HPLC-DAD and HPLC-ESI-MS analyses.

Their IC50values, in comparison to trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxy- lic acid), were: trolox (1.78ð0.56µm) < protocatechuic acid (5.77ð1.63µm) < taxifolin-3- O-β-glucopyranoside (16.30 ð 1.98µm). The method for the determination of antioxidant activity proved reproducible and quick for routine analyses with 96 well plates.

Key words: Pinus sylvestrisL., Protocatechuic Acid, Taxifolin-3-O-β-glucopyranoside
