THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS IN TRIFOLIUM L. SPECIES IN SIBERIA
Conducted a comparative study of the phenolic compounds content, as well as the qualitative and quantitative composition of flavonoids and isoflavonoids are 8 species of clover (Trifolium L.) flora of Siberia with the purpose of identifying the most promising species as sources of biologically active complexes.It is established that the amount of phenolic compounds in the aerial part of Trifolium pratense L, T.hybridum L., T. arvense L, T. repens L., T.montanum L., T. medium L., T. aurea (Pollich) Green, T. lupinaster L. is of 2,37–3,78%. The content of flavonoids in the samples changed from 1,91 to 3,78 %. By the method of chromatography on paper and thin-layer chromatography to be closest in composition of flavonoids (rutin, quercetin and cynaroside) to the T. pratense L are T.montanum L., T. medium L., T. lupinaster L. and T. aurea (Pollich) Green. The content of isoflavones in the aerial part of the clover species flora of Siberia ranged from 0,27 to 2,58%. The most promising are the T. medium L., T. repens L. and T.hybridum L.. Formononetin, biochanin, genistein, ononin were identified in the composition of these species by chromatographic comparison with standard samples. Trifolium pratense L, T.hybridum L., T. lupinaster L., T. medium L. with sufficient raw material base in the flora of Siberia can be recommended for further study as sources of flavonoids, including isoflavonoids.
