Representatives of the genus Bupleurum L. in the composition of biologically active substances accumulate triterpene compounds (derivatives of α-amyrin and β-amyrin). Triterpene glycosides isolated from plants of the genus Bupleurum are called saikosaponinov, buplevrozidy, skorzonerozidy. Plants of the genus Bupleurum in the underground organs accumulate triterpene compounds in an amount of from 1 to 7%. Triterpene compounds of plants of the genus Bupleurum possess a hepatoprotective, antiviral, cytostatic effect. We have studied the triterpene compounds of the aerial organs of Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. The material for the study was collected on the territory of the Irkutsk region (Russia). Isolation of triterpene compounds was performed with 70% ethyl alcohol. The compounds were identified by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry and diode-matrix detection (UPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS). According to the results of the analysis, the content of 5 triterpene compounds was established: saikosaponinov A, B2, C, D, F. The isolated compounds are structurally derived from oleanan, in which glycosidation is observed at the C-3 position with α-L-rhinose, β-D-glucose and β-D-fucose. The spectrophotometric method determined the quantitative content of the amount of triterpene compounds in the above-ground organs of B. scorzonerifolium at different phases of the vegetation of the plant, by organs (in flowers, leaves, stalks), and also depending on the place of growth. It has been established that the maximum amount of the amount of triterpene compounds accumulates in the aboveground organs of B. scorzonerifolium during the flowering phase – 1.54±0.05%; the highest content of this group of compounds is noted in flowers – 1.70±0.06%; most of all, this group of compounds is collected by samples collected in the Ust-Horde Buryat District (1.96±0.06%). The aboveground organs of B. scorzonerifolium can be used as a source of triterpene compounds, the highest content of which is noted in the flowering phase. The study of triterpene compounds in the aboveground organs of B. scorzonerifolium was carried out for the first time.

Abstract. Krupnova TG, Naumova NL, Rakova OV, Burmistrova OM, Burmistrov EA. 2021. Apple trees as a possible monitor and phytoremediator of urban and industrial areas in Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation. Biodiversitas 22: 2824-2828. Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown fruit crops in the South Ural region. This study examines the suitability of apple trees for biomonitoring and phytoremediation. We collected the leaves and fruits of the apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees and the surrounding soil from three areas in Chelyabinsk, a typical Russian industrial city. The leaves, fruits and soils were analyzed for metal(loid) content (As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, In, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sn, Sr, and Zn). The results were obtained using mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). We found a response in the apple tree defense system to the action of heavy metals in the synthesis of biologically active substances. The data gave information about the environmental state of soils collected in the zones of influence of metallurgical industrial enterprises. However, the trees did not assimilate or tolerate high concentrations of metal(loid)s in the leaves and they cannot be recommended for phytoremediation.

The drone brood contains a large number of substances with antioxidant activity. These substances require stabilization and strict adherence to storage conditions. Among these substances are unique decenoic acids, the content of which is an indicator of the quality of drone brood and products based on it. The ability of drone brood to reduce the manifestations of oxidative stress is shown. There are dietary supplements for food and drugs based on drone brood, which are used for a wide range of diseases. Together with drone brood, chitosan-containing products, propolis, royal jelly can be used. They enrich the composition with their own biologically active substances and affect the preservation of the biologically active substances of the drone brood. Promising are the products containing, in addition to the drone brood, a chitin-chitosan-melanin complex from bees, propolis, royal jelly. The chitin-chitosan-melanin complex in the amount of 5% in the composition of the adsorbent practically does not affect the preservation of decenic acids, while in the amount of 2% and 10% it somewhat worsens. The acid-soluble and water-soluble chitosan of marine crustaceans significantly worsens the preservation of decenoic acids in the product. Drone brood with royal jelly demonstrates a rather high content of decenoic acids. When propolis is introduced into the composition of the product, the content of decenoic acids increases according to the content of propolis.

Impurities in paint layers executed with green and blue copper pigments, although relatively common, have been studied only little to date. Yet, their proper identification is a powerful tool for classification of paintings, and, potentially, for future provenance studies. In this paper, we present analyses of copper pigments layers from wall paintings situated in the vicinity of copper ore deposits (the palace in Kielce, the palace in Ciechanowice, and the parish church in Chotków) located within the contemporary borders of Poland. We compare the results with the analyses of copper minerals from three deposits, two local, and one historically important for the supply of copper in Europe, i.e., Miedzianka in the Holy Cross Mountains, Miedzianka in the Sudetes, and, as a reference, Špania Dolina in the Slovakian Low Tatra. Optical (OM) and electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) have been used for a detailed investigation of the minute grains. Special attention has been devoted to antimony and nickel phases, as more unusual than the commonly described iron oxides. Analyses of minerals from the deposits helped to interpret the results obtained from the paint samples. For the first time, quantitative analyses of copper pigments’ impurities have been described.

An inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy method was established to detect 29 elemental impurities in ceftriaxone sodium for injection by nanocomposite, and also used to detect the elemental impurities in the generic, domestic original and foreign original ceftriaxone sodium for injection. This paper for the first time analysed the possible sources of elemental impurities and their potential impacts on the drug quality based on the process. The results showed that zinc and potassium were detected in both the generic drug and the domestic original ceftriaxone sodium for injection, and zinc was not detected but potassium was detected in the foreign original drug; the content of zinc in the generic drug was significantly higher than that in the domestic original drug, and the content of potassium in generic drug and domestic original drug was higher than that in the foreign original drug, according to the process, the elemental impurities may come from the activated carbon or nanocarriers used in the process, and further stability analysis of the samples showed that the stability of the generic drug was slightly lower than that of the original drug, so it was speculated that impurity elements might also be one of the reasons for its instability.
