THE COMPOSITION PIGMENT, LIPIDS AND PROTEINS IN REPRESENTATIVES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS PRIELTONYA
Medicinal plants are subject to scrutiny as a source of a large number of biologically active substances (BAS), used in the creation of new, efficient, and most importantly safe drugs. The pharmacological properties of plants are caused by the presence of certain chemical compounds: alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, bitterness, essential oils, flavonoids and flavonoid components of the lipid nature, fatty acids, and so on. D. The results of previous studies have shown that the synthesis of some substances depends the combination of ecological and climatic factors, are strongly influenced by diurnal and seasonal variations. On the chemical composition of plants and provide the anthropogenic factors. Of particular importance are the study of medicinal plants in an environmentally safe areas, such as protected areas - parks, reserves and natural parks. In the Volgograd region is the natural park "Eltonsky" of many phytocenoses which includes plants with pronounced medicinal properties. The present study was aimed at studying the qualitative and quantitative composition of various biologically active substances of plants, which are used in traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia. As objects of study - perennial shrubs Artemisia santonica, A. pauciflora, A. lerchiana, Anabasis salsa, evergreen shrub Ephedra distachya, perennial herb Glycyrrhiza glabra and Salvia tesquicola. On the basis of the experiments found that the total content of biologically active substances in medicinal plants ranged from 48.3 to 513.8 mg/g dry weight, with the most active compounds are rich in plant Artemisia, G. glabra and S. tesquicola.
