Abstract: Barberry belongs to the Berberidaceaethat It's used in traditional medicine has a long history. The aim of this study was to compare the capacity of nitrite radical gathering, superoxide, Malondialdehyde and power reduction in ethanol, methanol and water extracts of hybrid Berberis Integerrima×Vulgaris. The aqueous extract of fresh barberries the maximum capacity of radical nitrite gathering (723/60±64/56) and the maximum capacity of superoxide radical gathering(202/98±1/75).The ethanol extract of dried barberries the maximum power reduction(0/37±0/006) and The methanol extract of fresh barberries maximum amount of MDA(37/12±0/79 mmol/g), was obtained. The results showed that barberry fruits have high Anti-oxidative capacity which can be used as a plant source in the food and pharmaceutical Industries.
