Research the prospect complex processings of Onopordum acanthium L. elevated part

Scotch thistle Onopordum acanthium L. - perspective source of biologically active compounds possessing antioxidant, adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory activity. Comparative chromatographic and spectral researches of Scotch thistle fruits, growing in Samara oblast, and fruits of Saint Mary thistle are conducted. High level of similarity the chromatographic profiles of aqueous-alcoholic extraction of compared types of fruits in all used chromatographic systems is revealed. The phenolic compounds similar on mobility and nature of detecting with the silibin - flavolignan of Saint Mary thistle were found. Comparative spectroscopic research revealed the existence in spectrum curve the aqueous-alcoholic extraction from fruits of Scotch thistle, characteristic for flavolignans, an absorption maximum at 289 nanometers. Quantitative definition of target groups of substances in fruits of Scotch thistle showed the high content of phenolic connections - 2,80% and terpenoidny - 5,20%. The obtained data confirm prospects of using the fruits of Scotch thistle in complex processing of his elevated part for receiving modern preparations with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
