Twenty known secondary metabolites were isolatedfrom the active antioxidant fractions; rosmarinic acid (1), chlorogenic acid (2), caffeic acid (3), 4- hydroxybenzoic acid (4), benzoic acid (5), luteolin 7-O-glucoside (6), bis-(2-ethylhexyl)benzene-1,2- dicarboxylate (7), salvianolic acid A (8), salvianolic acid B (9), 7-acetylroyleanone (10), 6,7-dehydroroyleanone(11), ferruginol (12), inuroyleanol (13), 12-hydroxy-6,7-secoabieta-8,11,13-triene-6,7-dial (14), ursolic acid(15), oleanolic acid (16), taraxasterol (17), lupenone (18), ?-sitosterol (19), and stigmasterol (20). Rosmarinicacid, which was obtained from the aerial parts, was found to be the best antioxidant compound among theisolated secondary metabolites in DPPH free radical and ABTS cation radical scavenging, and CUPRAC assays(IC50: 1.20±0.04 ?g/mL, IC50: 1.74±0.06 ?g/mL, A0.5: 1.22±0.02 ?g/mL, respectively). Chlorogenic and caffeicacids, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, salvianolic acids A and B, and inuroyleanol exhibited also high antioxidantactivity in the mentioned assays.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle156585592464279
