medicinal plant raw materials

The purpose of this study was an environmental assessment of the contamination of medicinal plant raw materials of the Rostov region with sim-triazine pesticides. The objects of the study were pharmacopeial plant species, widespread in the Southern Federal District, which are characteristic representatives of both natural plant communities and synanthropic vegetation, as well as soil. The content of sim-triazine pesticides: atrazine, simazine, promethrin in soil and plant samples was determined.

An important aspect of modern analytical chemistry is the study of multicomponent objects, including medicinal plants with clinically proven pharmacological activity, and promising plants from the point of view of pharmacy, which are not offi cinal, but belong to the same family. In addition, it is of interest for pharmacy to determine the content of valuable types of fl avonoids (rutin, cynaroside, luteolin) in these plants, due to their high antitumor activity.
