Abstract :Detection of bioactive compounds that determine the antioxidant capacity of naturally grown plants may provide their use in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. Plants grown at high altitudes, such as Prunus divaricata var insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(locally known as yonuz plum, wild plum, dolphin plum, and sour plum); have high nutritional value, disease-reducing and therapeutic potential. In this study, total antioxidant capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAC);, total oxidant capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TOC);, oxidative stress index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OSI); and total polyphenolic compound insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPC); contents of methanol extract were determined and their therapeutic potential was evaluated. The fruits were collected in September and dried at room temperature and in a humidity-free environment for an average of 20 days. Dried fruits insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10 g); were dissolved in methanol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(500 mL);, and their total antioxidant/oxidant capacity was determined by extraction and evaporation. TPC was measured spectrophotometrically using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method. In conclusion, the TAC level of the wild plum fruit extract was 3.595±0.05 mmol Trolox equiv./L, the TOC level was 15.853±0.09 μmol H2O2 Equiv./L and OSI 0.441±0.006 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AU);, and the total TPC content was 41.52 ± 0.17 mg GAE g-1. P. divaricata is rich in phenolic compounds and has a strong antioxidant and oxidant activity. We believe that many antioxidant compounds can have a pro-oxidant effect as a result of their interaction with each other. The strong oxidant activity of P. divaricata should be carefully evaluated for nutritional and therapeutic use.
