Abstract

Sideritis scardica Griseb., Lamiaceae (mountain tea), an endemic plant of Balcan peninsula, traditionally has been known for its anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective properties [1]. The dried aerial parts of the mountain tea were extracted using ethanol, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The total phenolics content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The extracts were tested for their antioxidant activity measuring the reduction of DPPH absorption to indicate the capacity to scavenge free radicals. HPLC method was developed for qualitative fingerprint analysis of flavonoid and phelocarbonic acids in investigated extracts (results presented in the Table).
