abstract = "The plant Cotinus coggygria Scop. (family Anacardiaceae) is commonly used in folk medicine for the treatment of various illnesses, such as diarrhea, paradontosis, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Different parts of this plant have been subjected to pharmacological evaluation for their potential antihaemorragic, wound-healing, antiinflammatory, and antimicrobial activity. The present study was undertaken to investigate the phenolic conten according to the Folin-Ciocalteu procedure, while the spectrophotometric method with aluminium chloride was used for the determination of total ftavonoids. The phenolic and flavonoid composition of extract were determined by the HPLC method. Antioxidant activiy was quantitatively determined using a DPPH radical scavenging assay. To examine the antigenotoxic potential using the comet assay, Wistar rats were treated with 100 mg/ kg body weight of pyrogallol, which possesses a potent ability to generate free radicals and induce oxidative stress. The content of total phenols and ftavonoids was 3.78 mg of gallic acid/g of dry plant material and 8.29 mg of rutin/g of dry plant material, respectively. HPLC analysis showed that myricetin was the dominant compound (511.5 µg/g), while hydroxyl derivatives of cinnammic acids (chlorogenic, caffeic, coumaric, ferulic and rosmaric acid) were identified in the extract in varying amount. The neutralisation of DPPH radicals was up to 95%, while the maximum inhibition concentration is approximately 125 µg/ml. The dose of 500 mg/kg body weight of the extract, that display no genotoxic activity, and its main flavonoid compound myricetin, in equivalent amount as present in the extract, were applied intraperitoneally either 2 or 12 h prior to pyrogallol. As measured by the decrease in total score and tail moment, the DNA damage in liver was reduced by the extract and myricetin.",
