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.

The plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) fine tunes the growth–defense dilemma by inhibiting plant growth and stimulating the accumulation of secondary compounds. We investigated the interactions between JA and phytochrome B signaling on growth and the accumulation of selected secondary metabolites in Hypericum perforatum L., a medically important plant, by spraying plants with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and by adding far-red (FR) lighting. MeJA inhibited plant growth, decreased fructose concentration, and enhanced the accumulation of most secondary metabolites. FR enhanced plant growth and starch accumulation and did not decrease the accumulation of most secondary metabolites. MeJA and FR acted mostly independently with no observable interactions on plant growth or secondary metabolite levels. The accumulation of different compounds (e.g., hypericin, flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and phenolic acid) in shoots, roots, and root exudates showed different responses to the two treatments. These findings indicate that the relationship between growth and secondary compound accumulation is specific and depends on the classes of compounds and/or their organ location. The combined application of MeJA and FR enhanced the accumulation of most secondary compounds without compromising plant growth. Thus, the negative correlations between biomass and the content of secondary compounds predicted by the growth-defense dilemma were overcome.

Medicinal plants contain biologically active substances that have a physiological effect on the human body. In the territory of Ukraine, 15 of the most important medicinal plants grow from a medical point of view, among which are Melissa officinalis L and Сalendula officinalis. Micronutrients are necessary for the body in small quantities, not being a source of energy, they take part in their assimilation, as well as in the regulation of various functions and the implementation of the processes of growth and development of the human body. The study aims to establish the micronutrient profile of extracts and infusions from medicinal raw materials – Сalendula officinalis and Melissa officinalis. The established micronutrient profile includes data on the content of such macro- and microelements as calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, and copper in extracts and infusions from Melissa officinalis L officinalis L and Сalendula officinalis. Sodium predominates from certain macronutrients, the superiority of which is manifested in Сalendula officinalis when infused. A large amount of calcium also passes into the aqueous-alcoholic infusion from Сalendula officinalis. Copper and zinc prevail among the determined microelements in water extracts of Сalendula officinalis. Comparing the results obtained, we can say in the affirmative about the micro- and macro elements that have passed into extracts that Сalendula officinalis is richer in these substances. Because infusions and extracts are recommended to be added as an additional ingredient to vegetable and fruit juices, their positive infusion on the human body will increase the recommended daily requirement of potassium and sodium. Based on the results of this study, extracts and infusions of Melissa officinalis L and Сalendula officinalis can be considered as an essential source of micronutrients for enriching fruit and vegetable juices in canned food for health purposes

Glucomannans play a much broader role in human health then providing dietary fibre. They are biologically active molecules and can when added to the body imitate innate molecules found in different organs including surface carbohydrates on cells. This review considers the immunological role of exogenous glucomannans within animals and man. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.
