Evaluating membrane-stabilizing properties of phytoextracts in experiments in vitro

To discover promising pharmacological agents for developing some medicine on their basis, at present in-vitro research is being used to evaluate the biological activity of cell cultures, subcellular fractions or individual enzymes. One of the important properties of potential drugs is their effect on cell membranes. Considering the numerous data on the successful use of natural products for preventive and integrated treatment of diseases, making promising pharmacological agents of herbal products, is currently an urgent task. The paper presents the results of in vitro experiments on the evaluation of the membrane-stabilizing action of plant-derived agents on models of osmotic and peroxidic hemolysis of erythrocytes.
