Various species of the genus Aloe which there are in the world more than 500 are considered as important sources of biologically active substances and attract an attention of researchers by numerous manifestations of their biological properties. The most studied and used Aloe species are A. arborescens and A. vera, however some other species show not smaller biological activity, in particular antioxidant, than made mention. In the present work on model of the initiated oxidation of phosphatidylcholine liposomes comparison of the antioxidant activity (AOA) of leaves extracts of A. arborescens, A. pillansii, A. squarrosa and also the total content of their phenolic compounds was carried out. It is established that A. pillansii extract has approximately by 12 times higher AOA, than A. arborescens extract, and by 4 times, than A. squarrosa. The measured values of the total phenolic compounds content showed considerably smaller difference between these extracts. It can demonstrate existence in A. pillansii leaves of more difficult antioxidant profile, than in A. arborescens, and higher concentration of active phenolic metabolites. Results of this work allow recommending A. pillansii for more depth studies of its different biological activities.
