Posatska N. Pharmacognostic study of Verbena genus species

Thesis is devoted to pharmacognostic research of biologically active substances of Verbena genus species, obtaining and research of the phytomedicine based on the raw materials, developing of Methods of quality control of medicinal plant raw materials and the phytomedicine. Using modern physicochemical methods the content of the main groups of BAS in Verbena officinalis L. herb, Verbena supina L. leaves and Verbena hybrida Hort. herb was established. Using chemical reactions and chromatographic methods free sugars, amino acids, carbolic acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannin metabolites, hydroxycinnamic acids, volatile compounds were investigated in Verbena genus species raw materials. The projects of Methods of quality control «Verbena officinalis L. dry extract» and «Instruction on harvesting and drying of Verbena officinalis L. herb» were developed. The novelty of researches is confirmed by the patent of Ukraine on the utility model № 46370 «The method of obtaining of Verbena officinalis L. herb extract with hepatoprotective effect».
