Antioxidant activity of isorhamnetin 3‐ O ‐neohesperidoside, isolated from the leaves of Acacia salicina , was determined by the ability of this compound to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity and to scavenge the free radical 2,2′‐azino‐bis (3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS .− ) diammonium salt. Antigenotoxic activity was assessed using the SOS chromotest assay. This compound has the ability to scavenge the ABTS .+ radical by a hydrogen donating mechanism. We also envisaged the study of the antioxidant effect of this compound by the enzymatic xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XOD) assay. Results indicated that isorhamnetin 3‐ O ‐neohesperidoside was a potent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase and superoxide anion scavengers. Moreover, this compound induced an inhibitory activity against nifuroxazide and aflatoxine B1 (AFB1) induced genotoxicity. Taken together, these observations provide evidence that isorhamnetin 3 ‐O ‐neohesperidoside isolated from the leaves of A. salicina is able to protect cells against the consequences of oxidative stress.
