Modern standardization as the methodological basis of rational use the medical plants, containing flavonoids

The main purpose of our paper is the studies on the substantiation of the new approaches to the chemical standardization of plant drugs and their medicines containing flavonoids. On the basis of the study of chemical composition of medicinal plants there were developed the methodic and methodological approaches to the standardization of plant drugs and preparations containing flavonoids. We studied such medicinal plants as Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench., Tanacetum vulgare L., Artemisia dracunculus L., Mentha piperita L., Agrimonia eupatoria L., Aerva lanata L., Matricaria chamomilla L. We used such methods as spectrophotometry and thin layer chromatography (TLC). For purpose of standardization were recommended the state standard samples of rutin, cynaroside and isosalipurposide. The developed new approaches to standardization of medicinal plants containing flavonoids and their medicines will be useful in elaboration of new technologies for resource-saving phytopharmaceuticals and rational use of plant supplies.
