2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and nitroprusside assay were used for in vitro study of antiradical/scavenger activity of Philadelphus coronarius petal substances. The results obtained can be used as the basis for further studies of this type of the biological effects in the plant.
Keywords: antiradical activity, Philadelphus coronarius
