BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES EXHIBITING ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, SOME REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LAMIACEAE FAMILY CULTIVATED IN THE STAVROPOL REGION

Abstract

The object of the study was the samples of raw materials of the family Lamiaceae plants created in FSBSI "North Caucasus Federal agricultural research center", using a variety of breeding methods: Salvia Officinalis Leaves (cultivar "Dobrynya"), Origanum Vulgare Herb (cultivar "Karamelka"), Salvia Sclarea Herb (cultivar "Salyut"), Satureja Hortensis Herb (cultivar "Karapuz"), Lophanthus Anisatus Herb (cultivar "Premier"), Hyssopus Officinalis Herb (cultivar "Rozovy flamingo"). As a result of the studies conducted by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography, the component composition of phenolic compounds (flavonoids and phenolcarbonic acids) was established. The quantitative content of essential oil, flavonoids and tannins was determined in the studied objects. In salvia officinalis leaves identified 11 phenolic compounds, 2.72% essential oil, 1.22% flavonoids, 12.20% tannins; in origanum vulgare herb – 9 compounds, 1.80% essential oil, 2.10% flavonoids, 8.64% tannins; in salvia sclarea herb – 11 compounds, 0.45% essential oil, 2.25% flavonoids, 10.51% tannins; in satureja hortensis herb – 11 compounds, 0.68% essential oil, 0.85% flavonoids, 9.37% tannins; in lophanthus anisatus herb – 11 compounds, 2.15% essential oil, 2.06% flavonoids, 8.30% tannins; in hyssopus officinalis herb – 9 compounds, 0.78% essential oil, 0.91% flavonoids, 9.55% tannins. Determination of antioxidant activity, conducted in two ways (amperometric and titrimetric) showed that water-alcohol extraction of plant raw materials of new varieties of representatives of the family Lamiaceae, created and maximally adapted to the conditions of Stavropol region can be the basis for the production of herbal remedies with antioxidant activity.
