【 摘 要 】

The genus Rhus (sumac), belonging to the family Anacardiaceae, is one of the most widespread and recognizable genera in North America and Africa. It is known to be rich in biflavonoids, urushiols and bichalcones. This study describes the identification and quantification of many phenolic compounds, for the first time, in Rhus flexicaulis, including seven flavonoids and seventeen phenols, using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The total phenolic content was (30.31 mg/g), the total flavonoid content was (20.93 mg/g) and the total antioxidant capacity was (2005.17 μmol/g) in Rhus flexicaulis. The results showed that the plant extract has an antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli.
