In this respect flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds have gained the greatest attention. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the <em>in vitro</em> antiradical activity of different extracts (ethanol, hexane, acetone, chlorophorm and methanol) of <em>Artemisia vulgaris</em> L., <em>A. fragrans</em> Willd., <em>A. absinthium</em> L. and <em>A. splendens</em> Willd., represented in Armenian flora. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was used to measure the radical scavenging activity of extracts obtained from<em> Artemisia</em> species. <em>A. fragrans</em> methanol and chlorophorm extracts possess the highest antiradical activity with IC<sub>50</sub> value of 87 <em>µg</em>/<em>mL</em> and 98 <em>µg</em>/<em>mL</em>, respectively. The total flavonoid content in plant extracts was determined employing AlCl<sub>3</sub> colorimetric assay. The content of total flavonoid compounds of <em>A. fragrans</em> methanol extract was 15.3±0.3 <em>μg</em> QE/<em>mg</em>. The Folin–Ciocalteu assay was used to determine the total phenolic content of studied extracts. The contents of total phenolic compounds of <em>A. fragrans</em> chlorophorm and methanol extracts were 55.9±1.7 <em>μg</em> and 87.3±1.8<em> μg</em> of GAE/<em>mg</em>, respectively. In the other cases this parameter value was lower than 40 <em>μg</em> of GAE/mg indicated.</p>}, number={2 (258)}, journal={Proceedings of the YSU B: Chemical and Biological Sciences}, author={Babayan, Anush M. and Petrosyan, Margarit T. and Sahakyan, Naira Zh.}, year={2022}, month={Aug.}, pages={161–168} }
