Objective: To study the Correlation of the contents of total phenols and total flavonoids and antioxidant activities of five Callicarpa species. Method: The contents of total phenols

total flavonoids of five Callicarpa species were detected with Uv-Visible spectrophotometer. Subsequently

the antioxidant activities of five Callicarpa species were determined by seven antioxidant methods

including·O2- scavenging

DPPH·scavenging

ABTS+·scavenging

·OH scavenging

Cu2+-chelating

and Fe3+ reducing assays

anti-lipidperoxidation. Result: The contents of total phenols

total flavonoids of five Callicarpa species were significantly different with each other and Callicarpa nudiflora Hook. et Arn possessed the highest contents. There were various kinds of relationship about antioxidant activities of five Callicarpa species from seven methods. The results of correlation analysis indicated that there was a positive correlation between the contents of total phenols and total flavonoids and antioxidant activities apart from anti-lipidperoxidation activity. Conclusion: Five Callicarpa species were rich in phenols and flavonoids

had excellent antioxidant activities

so they would be developed as new natural antioxidants.
