The aim of this study was to investigate antiradical activity of aqueous and ethanolic hawthorn fruit extracts, their flavonoids, and flavonoid combinations.Material and methods. Total amount of phenolic compounds and the constituents of flavonoids were determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography. The antioxidant activity of Crataegus monogyna extracts and flavonoids (chlorogenic acid, hyperoside, rutin, quercetin, vitexin-2O-rhamnoside, epicatechin, catechin, and procyanidin B-2) quantitatively was determined using the method of spectrophotometry (diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH center dot) radical scavenging assay and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)(ABTS center dot+) radical cation decolorization assay). The level of tyrosine nitration inhibition was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography.Results. Ethanolic hawthorn fruit extract contained 182 +/- 4 mg/100 mL phenolic compounds, i.e. threefold more, as compared to aqueous extract. The antioxidant activity according to DPPH center dot reduction in the ethanolic extracts was higher 2.3 times (P
