Hawthorn has been used as traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. In China, hawthorn fruit was used to improve digestion and relieve food stasis. In Europe, the fruit, leaf and flower of hawthorn are used for astringent, diuretic, and cardiovascular disease. The chemical components of hawthorn consist of sterols, triterpene acids, flavonoids, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, organic acids and cardioactive amines etc. The pharmacological effects were believed to be mainly due to the hawthorn flavonoids, which possess a number of beneficial effects such as cardiotonic, antiarrhythmic, hypolipidemic, antihypertensive and antioxidative activities.
Hawthorn flavonoids are mainly composed of hyperoside (HP), quercetin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin (IQ), rutin, vitexin, isovitexin and epicatechin (EC).Among them, EC, IQ, and HP are identified to be the major active flavonoids in the hawthorn phenolic extract (HPE) from hawthorn fruits that
have demonstrated inhibitory effects on the in vitro Cu+2- mediated low density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation.
