The antioxidant and antiradical activities of 5,7,3′‐trihydroxy‐3,6,4′‐trimethoxyavone or centaureidin isolated and characterized from Brickellia veronicaefolia were elucidated by heat‐induced oxidation in a β ‐carotene and linoleic acid system and by the 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl decoloration test. The centaureidin (32.1%) exhibited antioxidative activity less than that of BHT (95.5%) and α ‐tocopherol (95.9%) on oxidation in a β ‐carotene and linoleic acid system. A moderate antiradical effect (47.6%) compared with BHT (96.7%) and α ‐tocopherol (94.6%) in DPPH decoloration test was found. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
