Chemical analysis of the bark from four Hyrcanian forest species,  Pterocarya fraxinifolia ,  Alnus subcordata ,  Gleditsia caspica  and  Parrotia persica  were performed, and their total phenol contents, and antioxidant and chelating activities were evaluated. The greatest total phenol content (TPhC), 54.3% in dry extract, was detected in  P. fraxinifolia  bark and the lowest one in  G. caspica  bark with 4.5%. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) in the radical-scavenging assay against DPPH radicals in bark acetone extracts of  P. fraxinifolia ,  A. subcordata ,  G. caspica  and  P. persica  were 0.17, 0.21, 13.35, 0.19 mg ml −1 , respectively. In the metal-chelating activity system,  G. caspica  extract demonstrated significant activity.  Pterocarya fraxinifolia ,  A. subcordata  and  P. persica  bark acetone extracts revealed a high potential for inhibition of DPPH radicals due to high amounts of phenolics. Superior health benefits can be expected from the compounds syringol, 4-vinylguaiacol, tyrosol, chavicol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, vanillin, rheosmin and acetophenone.  Gleditsia caspica  was found to have significant chelating activity due to isoeugenol.
