Thecurrent study aims the investigation of the antioxidant combined effect of Rhamnus alaternus fractions usingDPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) assay. The three most active fractions were subject for binaryand ternary combinations using the augmented simplex-centroid design. Two known compounds emodin (1) andkaempferol (2) were identified from the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Rhamnus alaternus. Their structureswere elucidated using spectroscopy data. The antioxidant potent of the crude extract and the mixture wascompared with the antioxidant activity of the fractions separately. Important synergetic effects were observed inbinary mixture between the most active fractions, besides the response optimizer allowed us to optimize themixture presenting the highest antioxidant activity at 82.54 %. The results from the present work could haveinteresting applications in both medical formulations and functional food design.
