Abstract

The fruits of and have been known and appreciated in folk medicine for years and have a high biological value, which is mainly connected with their polyphenols and iridoids content. However, hybrids of × have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the iridoids, anthocyanins, and flavonols content, and antioxidant capacity of , , and × . Iridoids and flavonoids were quantified by the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. Antioxidant capacity (AC) was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) tests. Total phenolic content (TPC) was evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Among the cultivars and genotypes, there was considerable variation in the content of iridoids, flavonoids, and AC. Interspecific hybrids × contained more iridoids than and more anthocyanins than and additionally had higher AC and TPC than and most . AC, TPC, and the presence of iridoids, anthocyanins, and flavonols in hybrids × are reported for the first time. The species deserve special attention due to their highly biologically active substances, as well as useful medicinal properties.
