Damage to the skin is quite common in everyday life of a person and represents a loss of the integrity of the protective barrier of the skin, which can create conditions for the development of a local inflammatory process, as well as for the penetration of pathogens of various diseases into the human body. In order to more quickly restore the damaged area of the skin, it is important to accelerate wound healing through the use of combined drugs, including antiseptics and biologically active substances of natural origin, stimulating the natural local regenerative process. One of such rational combinations is the combination of chlorhexidine bigluconate and Japanese Sophora fruit liquid extract in the composition of the wound-healing preparation. Medicinal sticks are presented as the most rational dosage form for a wound-healing drug of the specified composition. The application of this dosage form to the treated surface leads to the formation of a thin, firmly adhering film, which evenly releases the active substances and protects the wound from external influences. The indicated positive properties of medicinal pencils are achieved due to the selection of a rational component composition of excipients with a set of necessary characteristics, among which the most significant is the ability to provide optimal release of active substances. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to conduct comparative biopharmaceutical studies to optimize the component composition of medicinal pencils with wound healing action containing chlorhexidine bigluconate and liquid extract of sophora fruit. The objects of research were Japanese Sophora fruits harvested in 2020 in the Krasnodar Territory that meet the requirements of regulatory documents; substance-solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate 20%; auxiliary substances of lipophilic and hydrophilic nature: solid paraffin, beeswax, cocoa butter, anhydrous lanolin, polyethylene oxide-400, polyethylene oxide-1500. To assess the degree of release of active substances from experimental compositions, the method of diffusion into agar was used, based on the diffusion of active substances from the dosage form into an agar gel containing a solution of ferric chloride as an indicator. It was found that the most suitable combination of auxiliary components of the dosage form, providing the best release of active substances, is a combination including solid paraffin (20 parts), beeswax (20 parts), anhydrous lanolin (20 parts), polyethylene oxide-1500 (10 parts), polyethylene oxide-400 (20 parts).

Microalgae are a group of autotrophic microorganisms that live in marine, freshwater and soil ecosystems and produce organic substances in the process of photosynthesis. Due to their high metabolic flexibility, adaptation to various cultivation conditions as well as the possibility of rapid growth, the number of studies on their use as a source of biologically valuable products is growing rapidly. Currently, integrated technologies for the cultivation of microalgae aiming to isolate various biologically active substances from biomass to increase the profitability of algae production are being sought. To implement this kind of development, the high productivity of industrial cultivation systems must be accompanied by the ability to control the biosynthesis of biologically valuable compounds in conditions of intensive culture growth. The review considers the main factors (temperature, pH, component composition, etc.) that affect the biomass growth process and the biologically active substance synthesis in microalgae. The advantages and disadvantages of existing cultivation methods are outlined. An analysis of various methods for the isolation and overproduction of the main biologically active substances of microalgae (proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, pigments and vitamins) is presented and new technologies and approaches aimed at using microalgae as promising ingredients in value-added products are considered.

Abstract. The purpose of the research was to study the quality of Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth. raw materials grown in the foothill zone of the Crimea. In the course of the research, we studied such indicators as the content of essential oil and other types of biologically active substances (BAS), which allow using elsholtzia as an essential oil, food, or medicinal raw materials. Research methods. Determination of the quality of E. stauntonii raw materials was carried out according to generally accepted methods. Results. Peculiarities of the accumulation of essential oil in various organs of E. stauntonii were determined. The variability of the mass fraction of essential oil, its component composition and BAS depending on the plant’s growth stage is shown. We found that the main oil-synthesizing organs of E. stauntonii are leaves and inflorescences. The largest amount of essential oil (1.82 %) was obtained from inflorescences. In the fractional composition of raw materials, they amounted to 45.6 %. The maximum amount of essential oil with the dominant components (rosefuran and rosefuran epoxide) accumulated in plants during the phase of mass flowering (1.48 % in terms of absolutely dry weight). The highest content of BAS, namely phenolic compounds, accumulated in the stage of active growth of vegetative and the formation of generative organs of plants (regrowth and bud formation); extractives – in the stage of regrowth. During two years of storage of air-dry raw materials, there is a loss of essential oil as a result of its evaporation (54.0 %) and a change in its component composition (an increase in monoterpene derivatives of furan by 26.6 % and a decrease in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons by 23.5 %). To store air-dry raw materials of E. stauntonii for more than two years is not, however, reasonable because of significant losses of essential oil. Scientific novelty. The quality of raw materials of E. stauntonii variety Rozovoe oblako, which was grown in the foothill zone of the Crimea, was studied for the first time. Raw materials and essential oil of E. stauntonii have a broad spectrum of biological activity and can be used in medicine, as well as in essential oil and food industries.

Wound healing involves a complex cascade of cellular, molecular, and biochemical responses and signaling processes. It consists of successive interrelated phases, the duration of which depends on multifactorial processes. Wound treatment is a major healthcare issue that can be resolved by development of effective and affordable wound dressings based on natural materials and biologically active substances. Proper use of modern wound dressings can significantly accelerate wound healing with minimal cosmetic defects. The innovative biotechnologies for creating modern natural interactive dressings are based on sulfated polysaccharides from seaweeds with their unique structures and biological properties, the availability of their sources in the form of wild bushes, and in the form of aquaculture, as well as with a high potential for participation in process control wound healing. These natural biopolymers are a novel and promising biologically active source for designing wound dressings based on alginates, fucoidans, carrageenans, and ulvans, which serve as active and effective therapeutic tools. The aim of this review is to summarize available information about the modern wound dressing’s technologies based on seaweed-derived polysaccharides, including those successfully implemented in commercial products, with the emphasis on promising and innovative designs. The further prospect of using marine biopolymers is related to the need to analyze the results of numerous in vitro and in vivo experiments, summarize clinical trial data, develop a scientifically based approach and relevant practical recommendations for the treatment of wounds.
