PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF PLANTS OF THE GENUS PHELLODENDRON AS A SOURCE OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES
UDC 615.45:615.322:582.751.9
Abstract
Search for new species of medicinal plant raw materials, promising for use as a source of biologically active compounds is one of the priority directions of scientific research in the development of effective and safe drugs. Among the representatives of the domestic flora the leafy tree – Phellodendron amurense Rupr. is of interest for research. This plant, along with Phellodendron chinense C.K. Schneid, is the subject of research of scientists from different countries of the world, aimed at identifying phellodendron-specific secondary metabolites and assessing the prospects of their use in therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.
In this connection, the purpose of the present work was to summarise the data of scientific literature on systematics, composition of biologically active substances (BAS) accumulated in different parts of plants of the genus Phellodendron and their pharmacological properties.
The analysis allowed to generalise and systematise the data available today on the chemical composition of Phellodendron amurense and Phellodendron chinense. Particular attention in the article is paid to the issue of establishing the structure of the dominant component of Phellodendron amurense leaves – prenyl flavonoid phellamurin. Along with this, the data on biological activity of secondary metabolites of plants of the genus Phellodendron are given. The questions of standardisation of raw materials are covered.
On the basis of the conducted information analysis it is shown that Phellodendron amurense is a source of obtaining BAS. Phellamurin and other flavonoids with high biological activity are of the greatest interest for study.
