Вміст амінокислот в густих екстрактах з сировини синяка звичайного

Abstract

Проведено визначення якісного складу та кількісного вмісту амінокислот в густих екстрактах з коренів і трави синяка звичайного (Echium vulgare L.). Було виявлено наявність 16 сполук цієї природи. Домінуючими в обох густих екстрактах є глютамінова і аспарагінова кислоти, пролін. Отримані дані будуть використані в подальшій роботі.

Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kharkiv Echium vulgare L. of Boraginaceae family is a biennial rigidly pubescent plant with a spindle-shaped root, which is rather widespread in Ukraine. Above-ground and underground part of the plant is used in folk medicine as a blood purifying agent and anticonvulsant, herb decoctions – as expectorant and calming agent for cough of various etiology. Owing to shikonin and its ethers presence, extracts from Echium vulgare L. have high antibacterial activity and stable fungistatic effect against yeast fungi. In addition, these substances also exibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative activity. Echium vulgare L., as most representatives of Boraginaceae, is not sufficiently studied. Continuing to study this species, we have determined amino acid composition of its aqueous extracts. This group of biologically active substances is present in easy-to-digest complexes and in biologically available concentrations; it demonstrates a number of biological actions, such as hepatoprotective, lipotropic, cardiotropic, regenerative, wound-healing, calming, etc.
