The extract from stem bark of Stryphnodendron obovatum Benth was chromatographed on a Sephadex (R) LH-20 column, and yielded nine compounds, gallic acid (GA), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB), gallocatechin (GC), epiagallocatechin (EPG) 4'-O-methylgallocatechin (MGC), epigallocatechin- (4 beta -> 8)-epigallocatechin (EPEP), epigallocatechin-(4 beta -> 8)-gallocatechin (EPGC), robinetinidol- (4 alpha -> 8)-gallocatechin (ROGC) and robinetinidol-(4 beta -> 8)-epigallocatechin (ROEP). Evaluation of the antioxidant capacity in vitro by the methods of DPPH free radical (IC50.mu g/mL) and reduction of the phosphomolybdenum complex (RAC) gave the following results, respectively crude extract 4.52 and 0.8242, ethyl-acetate fraction 4.04 and 0.9537; aqueous fraction 5.58 and 0.9275. The crude extract and ethyl-acetate fraction were shown to possess an antioxidant capacity comparable to that of vitamin C (4.93 and 1.0). The values obtained by the DPPH free-radical method for the isolated compounds were IC50 (mu M). GA=8.89, PHB=10.12: GC=16.46, EPG=13.20, MGC=21.00, EPEP=6.89, EPGC=4.91, ROGC=7.78 and ROEP=6.20. Vitamin C and trolox showed 30.11 and 30.10, respectively. Dimers showd greater activity in scavenging free radicals, possibly related to the number of hydroxyls. However, compounds without a hydroxy at position 5 of the A-ring (5-deoxy-pranthocyamdins) did not change the antioxidant activity of the DPPH free radical, as evaluated here for the first time. Among the monomers, there appeared to be a direct relationship in scavenging of free radicals because of the stereochemistry of the compounds. The presence of a methyl radical on the B-ring significantly reduced the scavenging of free radicals of gallocatechin. All compounds showed greater scavenging of radicals than vitamin C and trolox, and these two compounds showdd no significant difference from each other.
