THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE CONNECTIONS OF WILLOWS PLYWOOD MANUFACTURING

One of the important tasks of public health is the creation of highly effective medicines and the provision of medical needs. In this connection, it becomes necessary to search for the most promising medicinal plants, to select species from the natural flora, populations that have a high potential for the synthesis of biologically active substances. This work is devoted to the study of the chemical composition of biologically active wood processing compounds of willow family, namely, aspen and poplar bark, as a promising raw material for use in medicine and the production of herbal medicines. Preparations from vegetable raw materials in comparison with synthetic medicines have a number of advantages. They are low – toxic and rarely have a side effect. Being complex in composition, they contain many ingredients that give them valuable properties and provide a multilateral effect on the body, stronger than the action of each of them individually. In this paper, we qualitatively determined the lipid composition, phenolic acids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, amino acids, as biologically active compounds, by means of which the presumed medicinal raw material has an important medicinal value. Investigation of the chemical composition of biologically active compounds in the poplar and aspen bark was carried out by thin – layer chromatography on "Silufol" plates and by paper chromatography. In the course of the work, we proved that the qualitative composition of the bark of aspen and poplar does not differ from each other. They contain a rich complex of biologically active substances: lipids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, amino acids. Therefore, these plants can be recommended to use as a medicinal raw material for making phytopreparations.
