abstract = "Rubus idaeus L., folium (raspberry leaf) is according to EMA/HMPC
monograph indicated as traditional herbal medicinal product for: the symptomatic
relief of minor spasm associated with menstrual periods, the symptomatic treatment
of mild inflammation in the mouth or throat and the symptomatic treatment of mild
diarrhea. The aim of this work was quantitative determination of phenolic compounds
(namely: total polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, arbutin and hydroquinone) and
antioxidant capacity of the different leaves extracts of wild and cultivated Rubus
ideus. Total polyphenols, tannins and flavonoids were determined
spectrophotometrically, HPLC method was employed for quantification of arbutin
and hydroquinone. DPPH test was used for fast antioxidant screening. Arbutin and
hydroquinone were absent in all samples despite some literature date on arbutin
presence in Rubus idaeus. Our phytochemical study showed that raspberry leaves
extracts contain significant amounts of polyphenolic compounds, which could be
useful in its quality estimation. Cultured raspberry leaf extracts seem to be reacher
source of this secondary metabolites while hydromethanolic extracts of wild growing
plant material exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity. Polyphenolic content and
demonstrated activity could, at least in part, explain pharmacological effects of
raspberry leaves.",
