Water-propylene glycol extracts of medicinal plants are widely used as active components in therapeutic and cosmetic products for external use. However, sparse data on the extracting efficiency of water-propylene glycol mixtures and chemical composition of water-propylene glycol extracts of plant raw materials are available in the scientific literature. Usually the manufacturer documentation also provides information about characteristics of the products that are not related to their biological activity. The results of HPLC/MS/MS study of Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers have shown that water-propylene glycol and water-ethanol extracts are similar in the composition of phenolic compounds: the dominant compounds of water-propylene glycol extract of Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers are apigenin and its glycosides (apigenin-7-glucoside, apigenin-7-O-6-O-malonyl-D-glycoside, apigenin-7-acetylglycoside, acetyl-malonyl-apigenin-7-O-glycoside), as well as 5,4’-dioxy-3,6,7,3’-tetramethoxyflavone, cis- and trans-forms of 2-O-glucopyranoside 2-hydroxy-4-methoxycoric acid, 7-methoxycumarin. Spectral and analytical characteristics in the UV-visible range of the spectra of water-propylene glycol extracts of a number of medicinal plants most often used in the cosmetic industry were studied to reveal extracts with the highest protective properties against UV radiation in A and B areas (extracts of Salvia officinalis L. leaves, Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers, Achillea millefolium L. grass), free radicals (extracts of Camellia sinensis L. leaves, Hypericum perforatum L. herb), and the highest content of flavonoids (extracts of Hypericum perforatum L. herb, leaves of Salvia officinalis L.) were revealed. When extracting raw materials from the same batch, the optical density at a wavelength of 270 nm is associated with the content of flavonoids, antioxidants and dry matter by a functional relationship, which is very convenient for rapid control of extraction processes in order to obtain a product with reproducible characteristics. Formulas for calculating the content of antioxidants in extracts using the DPPH method in comparison with standard samples of rutin and gallic acid are derived. Interpretation of data on the antioxidant content in different extracts in comparison with other analytical parameters are also presented. Demonstrated high repeatability of the shape of the spectral curves of Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers extract, observed regardless of the source of raw materials can be used in combination with the individuality of the curve shape of the extracts of raw materials of different types as one of the authenticity criteria. The proposed UV-spectrometric method was used to study the dynamics of Matricaria chamomilla L. flower extraction under different process parameters (temperature, propylene glycol/water ratio in the extractant). It is shown that extraction of raw materials with 50% water-propylene glycol for 4 h at a temperature of 50°C is optimal.

Трава зверобоя является ценным лекарственным растением, так как содержит большое число разнообразных биологически активных соединений, важнейшими из которых являются флавоноиды (1,5–5%), нафтодиантроны, дубильные вещества (10–13%), эфирное масло (0,1–0,33%) и др. Препараты, содержащие зверобой, комплексно воздействуют на организм, они оказывают противовоспалительное, антимикробное, антидепрессивное, противовирусное, кровоостанавливающее действие. Трава зверобоя применяется в виде чаёв, отваров, водных настоев, спиртовых и масляных настоек, мазей, сухих экстрактов. В ветеринарной медицине широко применяют настои и отвары травы зверобоя при заболеваниях ЖКТ: диспепсиях, гастроэнтеритах, острых и хронических колитах (КРС, овцы, козы, свиньи, собаки и др.), а также при лечении смешанных инвазий. Настои и настойку применяют также наружно при стоматитах, гингивитах, фарингитах. Несмотря на перечисленный выше ассортимент лекарственных форм зверобоя, активно ведутся научные исследования по оптимизации способов извлечения биологически активных веществ (БАВ) из травы зверобоя продырявленного. В ходе экспериментов исследователи варьируют различные параметры процесса экстракции: химический состав экстрагентов (монофазная и двухфазная экстракция), время и температуру экстракционного процесса, количественное соотношение сырья и экстрагентов, степень измельчения сырья, последовательность технологических операций, возможность применения излучения и др. Разработки новых ресурсосберегающих технологий переработки зверобоя продырявленного будут способствовать снижению себестоимости фармацевтической продукции и улучшению её фармакологических свойств. Hypericum perforatum grass is a valuable medicinal plant, since it contains a large number of various biologically active compounds, the most important of which are flavonoids (1.5–5%), naphthodianthrones, tannins (10–13%), aethereal oil (0.1–0.33%), etc. Preparations containing Hypericum perforatum have a complex effect on the body, they have an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidepressant, antiviral, hemostatic effect. Hypericum perforatum grass is used in the form of teas, apozems, water infusions, alcohol and oil tinctures, ointments, dry extracts. In veterinary medicine, infusions and decoctions of Hypericum perforatum grass are widely used in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: dyspeptic disorder, gastroenteritis, acute and chronic colitis (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, etc.), as well as in the treatment of mixed invasions. Infusions and tincture are also used externally for stomatitis, gingivitis, blennisthmia. Despite the above range of dosage forms of Hypericum perforatum, researches are actively conducted to optimize methods of extracting biologically active substances (BAS) from Hypericum perforatum grass. During the experiments, researchers vary various parameters of the extraction process: the chemical composition of extragents (monophasic and two-phase extraction), the time and temperature of the extractive process, the quantitative relation of raw materials to extragents, the dispersity of raw materials, the sequence of technological operations, the possibility of using radiation, etc. The development of new resource-saving technologies for processing Hypericum perforatum will help reduce the cost of pharmaceutical products and improve its pharmacological properties.

A significant effect on the amount of hydroxycinnamic acids was not an increase in the content of bap from BA 1.0 to 10.0 μM, but the introduction of auxins of NAA 1.0 μM + IBA 0.1 μM. Auxins in combination with cytokinin BA increased the amount of acids by an average of 20% in alcoholic (1.9±0.2%) and aqueous (1.46±0.06%) extracts from Iris sibirica raw materials. The maximum yield of extractive substances, including tannins (4.4±0.3%) was observed when growing raw materials on media with a BA content of 2.5–5.0 μM, the lowest value was obtained with a BA of 10.0 μM. The introduction of auxins (NAA 1.0 μM + IBA 0.1 μM) did not significantly affect the dynamics of the accumulation of tannins. Screening of the chemical composition of medicinal plant raw materials Origanum vulgare and Salvia officinalis obtained by biotechnology methods showed the presence of flavonoids of 1.6±0.1% and 3.2±0.04%, hydroxycinnamic acids of 7.4% and 13.4% at a.s.s., respectively. Antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.02-0.04 mg/ml against Sporosarcina ureae, Bacillus pumilus, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus was pronounced in the hexane extract of Salvia officinalis. Ethanol extract of sage was active against Salmonella typhimurium. Ethanol extracts of Iris sibirica and Salvia officinalis showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, MIC-0.35 and 0.16 mg / ml, respectively. Siberian iris suppressed Bacillus pumilus at MIC-0.7 mg / ml. The largest amount of extractive substances was extracted from the raw materials of Origanum vulgare with an aqueous-glycerol mixture – 21.5±0.2 % per a. s. s. Against Salmonella typhimurium, the extracts showed antibiotic activity with MIC – 1.2 mg/ml.
