Abstract. Identification of hellebore (Veratrum Lobelianum Bernh.) herbal substance, as well as hellebore-based herbal preparation and herbal medicinal product by the same group of biologically active substances using the same test method is in line with the so-called “consistent standardisation” principle.The aim of the study was to develop a harmonised approach to identification of steroidal alkaloids in hellebore products (hellebore water, hellebore tincture) and hellebore herbal substance (hellebore rhizomes with roots).Materials and methods: samples of hellebore water, hellebore tincture, and hellebore rhizomes with roots were analysed by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) using an HPTLC plate.Results: the authors developed a harmonised identification procedure for products made from hellebore rhizomes with roots (herbal substance, herbal preparation, and herbal medicinal product) based on HPTLC detection of steroidal alkaloids. The results of the study will be used to prepare amendments to the Identification part of monograph FS.2.5.0104.18 “Hellebore rhizomes with roots”. The developed test procedure is proposed for inclusion into draft monographs “Hellebore rhizomes with roots, tincture” and “Hellebore rhizomes with roots, tincture, solution for external use”.Conclusions: the developed test procedure can be used as an identification test for a range of products from the hellebore herbal substance to hellebore-based herbal medicinal products, which is based on the detection of the same group of biologically active substances.

The prevalence of acute respiratory diseases, the particular severity of their course, as well as the frequent relapses and complications require constant search for new, more effective and safe medicines for their prevention and treatment and introduction of these drugs into clinical practice. Generally, most of the medications used in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections have a number of side effects. Currently, one of the promising areas of pharmacy is the study of biologically active substances, the medicinal plant raw material, and production of extracts and herbal medicines based on them. Objective – pharmaceutical development of a scientifically based composition, technology for obtaining anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial tablets developed on the basis of a selected and standardized plant substance-a thick extract of the leaves of sage nutmeg, which grows in Tajikistan.  When solving the task used the methods of evaluating the technological properties of LRS, physico-chemical properties of plant extracts, physical and technological properties of the mass for tabletting, pharmaco-technological tests of the developed tabletsa study of quantitative content of biologically active substances was determined by Pharmacopoeia methods. The developed solid dosage form with thick extract of sage leaves can be registered as a medicinal product, and the developed technology of tablets with thick extract of sage leaves can be of interest to manufacturers of medicinal products from plant raw materials. The developed methods can be used in laboratories for the detection and quantitative determination of BAS in plant raw materials of Clary sage leaves and medicinal products from this LRS. Thus, based on the results of pharmacological and technological research, we have developed a technology for obtaining a thick extract of sage nutmeg and tablets based on it for the treatment of otolaryngological diseases, which in turn is of interest for further research of the developed drug and its introduction into production.

Active Substances

The permeation of biologically active substances through the skin is a process that determines the nourishing and therapeutic effect of cosmetic and medicinal products. Biologically active substances can permeate the skin in three stages: surface (adsorption), interdermal permeation and deep (resorption).The factors determining the speed of transdermal transport of the substance include: biological condition of the skin, physicochemical properties of biologically active substances, characteristics of substances accelerating absorption and the type of dermatological medium which was used. There are three ways of transdermal transport of cosmetic and medicinal substances: intercellular (transepidermal), transcellular (transdermal) and by skin appendages, such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands (transfollicular). Transdermal transport can be assisted using the following physical methods: phonophoresis, electroporation and iontophoresis.

Recently, herbal medicinal products (HMP) have gained importance and are extensively used in the prevention and treatment of various ailments. A commercial herbal medicinal product should comply with the regulatory requirements of quality, safety and efficacy. Currently, the standards and regulations of herbal medicinal products are varying from country to country, which poses a challenge to the manufacturing companies to place a standardized herbal product in the global market. Hence a collaborative effort must be taken both by regulatory bodies and the World Health Organization (WHO) to establish harmonized regulations for a herbal medicinal product. An attempt has been made in this review which may pave the way to meet out the constraints and challenges in the manufacturing and marketing of herbal medicinal product worldwide.

In recent years, the interest of researchers in the herbal preparation has grown significantly. Plants are sources of biologically active substances (BAS). In previous articles, the chemical composition and biologically active substances of plants endemic Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin growing in Kazakhstan has been studied. Among the BAS of plant origin, inulin and flavonoids occupy a special place. The article examines the release of inulin and flavonoid from the stem of Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin plants. In order to isolate a flavonoid, you first need to extract inulin. Due to the fact that in our plants, inulin accumulates up to 40%. Therefore, the first stage was to isolate inulin: with extractions 1:10 with distilled water for 60 minutes, and in the second stage, the further isolation of the residue was first dried, the dry residue was 1:10 with a ratio of 70% ethanol for 3 hours. The inulin yield was -5%, the melting point was 1300C. A The yield of flavanoid is 0.66%, the melting point is 1700 C, the aggregate state is acicular light brown light. The structure of the isolated flavonoid was determined on a Uviline 9100 spectro-photometer; the highest absorption was observed at a wavelength of 364 nm. Consequently, the structure of the isolated flavonoid coincides with the literature data. The maxima of the UV, IR, 13С -NMR. spectrum show that flavonol is a derivative.

Herbal medicines make up a large part of all medicinal products in the Russian market. Complex combinations of biologically active substances that are used as components in herbal medicines not only determine their therapeutic efficacy, but can also cause adverse reactions. The aim of this review was to analyse data on adverse effects of herbal medicines, and reasons and mechanisms behind their development. Special attention should be given to hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects of biologically active substances that are used as components in herbal medicines, because liver and kidney failure may lead to life-threatening conditions. The paper addresses hepatic adverse effects, including sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, caused by toxic biologically active substances of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids group. The paper summarises data on herbal medicines and toxic biologically active substances causing acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. It analyses potential clinically significant interactions that may occur during co-use of herbal and other types of medicines due to their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions. Further research involving collection, systematisation, and analysis of adverse effects of herbal medicines used alone or in combination with other medicinal products is needed to improve the safety of pharmacotherapy.

The identification of the diversity of microscopic fungi of lithobiont communities of the Argentine Islands in specimens collected during the 22nd Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition was the purpose of this work. Samples of rock, soil, mosses and lichens of rock micro-habitats of “Crustose lichen sub-formation and fruticose lichen and moss cushion sub-formation” were used in the work. These samples were used for extracting and cultivation of filamentous fungi on dense nutrient media. Determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics and identification of yeast-like fungi were performed using a microbiological analyser ‘Vitek-2’ (‘Bio Merieux’, France). Cultivation of microorganisms was carried out at temperatures from +2 to +37 °C. In results cultures of microscopic fungi of Zygomycota (Mucor circinelloides), Ascomycota (species of the genera cf. Tlielebolus, Talaromyces), representatives of the Anamorphic fungi group (Geomyces pannorum, species of the genera Alternaria, Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium) were isolated from Antarctic samples. Microscopic fungi Penicillium spp. were dominated after the frequency in the studied samples (54.5%). Rhodotorula rubra and Candida sp. among isolated yeast fungi, and dark pigmented fungi represented by Aureobasidium pulhdans and Exophiala spp. were identified. The biological properties of a number of isolated fungi (the potential ability to synthesise important biologically active substances: melanins, carotenoids, lipids) are characterised. Mycobiota of rock communities of Argentine Islands is rich on filamentous and yeast fungi similarly to other regions of Antarctica. A number of fungi investigated are potentially able to synthesise biologically active substances. The dark pigmented species of the genera Cladosporium, Exophiala, Aureobasidium pulhdans, capable of melanin synthesis; ‘red’ yeast Rhodotorula rubra (carotenoid producers and resistant to toxic metals); Mucor circinelloides and Geomyces pannorum, lipid producers, are among these fungi. Yeast-like fungi assimilated a wide range of carbohydrates, which will allow them to be further used for cultivation in laboratory and process conditions. The collection of technologically promising strains of microorganisms, part of the Culture Collection of Fungi at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), is updated with isolated species (strains) of filamentous fungi and yeast – potential producers of biologically active substances, obtained within this study.
