Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced at a high rate as a by-product of aerobic metabolism. Several lines of evidence provided that ROS appears to cause to develop aging and various diseases. High level of hyaluronic acid with decreased molecular weight has been detected in patients with inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we have conducted to investigate the antioxidant and hyaluronidase inhibitory activities of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz in order to screen the bioactive substances which can be developed as possible anti-inflammatory agents. Among the extracts of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz, EtOAc extract exhibited the strongest effect on antioxidant experiment such as DPPH, Ferric- Thiocyanate and Rancimat. Also, EtOAc extract showed a potent hyaluronidase inhibitory activity.
