<p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study was designed to chemical composition and hepatoprotective effects of a polyphenolic fraction of aerial parts of <em>R. hypocrateriformis </em>(PPFRH). It was shown to exhibit strong <em>in vitro</em> lipid peroxidation and scavenging activity against hydroxyl radical.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The chemical composition of a polyphenolic fraction of <em>R. hypocrateriformis</em> was analyzed by High-performance liquid chromatography method. Hepatocellular injuries induced by paracetamol were assessed by liver damage in Wistar albino rat; the hepatoprotective effect was evaluated by biochemical parameters in rat serum, antioxidant hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation in liver tissue.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The polyphenolic fraction of aerial parts of <em>R. hypocrateriformis</em> for lipid peroxidation is significantly (p&lt;0.05). In the hepatoprotective activity of liver enzymes and hepatic necrosis were significantly (p&lt;0.001) closer to paracetamol. The correlation coefficient between the hydroxyl scavenging radical and total phenolic and flavonoid contents were found to be R² = 0.9045 and R² = 0.8876 suggesting the contribution of phenolic and flavonoid compounds of the polyphenolic fraction of aerial parts of <em>R. hypocrateriformis</em> by 90% and 88% to its radical scavenging activity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The polyphenolic fraction of aerial parts of <em>R. hypocrateriformis</em> possesses a significant protective effect against acute hepatotoxicity induced by paracetamol and which may be due to the phenolic and flavonoid components.</p>

This study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-hemolytic properties of Algerian Drimia maritima Baker flower extracts. Determination of phenolic content was carried out to estimate the chemical composition of D. maritima extracts. Antioxidant properties were investigated in all extracts using free radical scavenging activity (against DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion), reducing power, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and anti-hemolytic capacity. Phenolic determination revealed that D. maritima flowers contain phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins. Ethyl acetate extract showed the highest reducing power and scavenging activity using DPPH and ABTS assays. However, aqueous extract was the most effective against hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, and lipid peroxidation. The half-time of hemolysis indicates that chloroform extract exhibited the best anti-hemolytic capacity in the AAPH induced hemolysis model. The results of this study suggest that D. maritima could be used as a possible source of antioxidant phenolic compounds and that further determination of these compounds may provide more information on their medicinal value.  Keywords: Drimia maritima, phenolic compounds, scavenging activity, reducing power, anti-hemolytic.
