Chemical Composition and Biological Activity of Metabolites of Species of the Genus Arctium L.

In the presented work, an assessment of the raw material resources of the roots and rhizomes of wild inulin-containing plants of high elecampane (Inula helenium L.), greater burdock (Arctium lappa L.), medicinal dandelion (Taraxacum officianale Wigg.) was carried out, the possible annual volume of harvesting of roots and rhizomes in the territory North Ossetia-Alania. In Russia, the volumes of inulin production are small, therefore, pharmaceutical industries are forced to use more expensive imported inulin, which increases the cost of diabetic products. In this connection, the search for new sources of inulin is relevant. It has been established that the possible annual volume of blanks is 3.0-3.5 tons of dry matter. The chemical composition, the content of biologically active substances of the investigated types of inulin-containing raw materials are analyzed. It was noted that in the roots and rhizomes of elecampane, the high content of inulin is 37.0% -39.4%, in the roots of dandelion officinalis - 36.1% -37.0%, burdock - 37.2% - 38.8%. The maximum amount of phenolic compounds 7.3% was found in the roots and rhizomes of elecampane, the minimum - in the roots of burdock 5.0%. The content of pectin compounds was: 12.0% of the mass of dry matter - in high elecampane, 10.4% of the mass of dry matter - in burdock and 10.0% of the mass of dry matter - in dandelion officinalis. Some fragmentation, lack of information on a more complete chemical composition of metabolites of species of the genera burdock, dandelion and elecampane opens up wide opportunities for subsequent researchers.

“…The BAS components dominating in different parts of big burdock ensure in pharmacological effect of this species. 44,56,58,59 As a result of microscopic examination it was found that in the leaves such group as anthocyanins is present. The maximum absorption in the visible area of the spectrum of the acidified aqueous extract of the leaf petiole is well pronounced, it is located in the long-wavelength region of the spectrum, where only coloured compounds are absorbed in the wavelength range peculiar for individual anthocyanins.…”

“…The phytochemical analysis of the extract and fractions revealed the presence of such groups of biologically active substances (BAS) as flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins, polysaccharides, saponins, terpenoids (Table 1) which confirms the data given in the topic-related sources on chemical composition of burdock. [56][57][58][59][60] The predominant group in leaves and fructus are phenolic compounds (flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins), polysaccharides. The BAS components dominating in different parts of big burdock ensure in pharmacological effect of this species.…”

Arctium lappa L. is one of the six species of the genus Arctium L., of the family Asteraceae Bercht. & J.Presl widely distributed as a weed in Europe, the USA, Uruguay, Argentina, the Himalayas, China, Japan, the European part of Russia, the Caucasus, Western Siberia, and the Far East. 1,2 Burdock has been used in folk medicine in different countries since ancient times. Burdock oil was used to strengthen and nourish hair, as a remedy for lice, rashes, lichen, trophic ulcers. Fresh burdock leaves were used for burns, rashes, itching, eczema, ulcers and dermatitis, mouth and eyes mold lesions. Juice and decoctions were used for gout, to stimulate metabolism, treat arthritis and arthrosis, articular rheumatism, sciatica, bad breath, urolithiasis, stomach ulcer. Antibacterial properties of big burdock were used for sore throats, syphilis, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the genitals, initial forms of upper respiratory tract diseases, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth, gums, throat, and, due to their anti-parasitic effect, they are used for intestinal worms. [3][4][5][6][7] Folk medicine has accumulated the experience in treatment of prostate adenoma and other oncological diseases with fresh juice, galenic preparations of burdock roots, leaves, inflorescences. 8,9 In China, the seeds and roots of big burdock are used for insect and venomous snake bites, edema, hemorrhages, boils, as well as cholagogic, diuretic treatments. 10 In Russian official medicine only three types of burdock roots are used -Arctium lappa L., Arctium tomentosum Mill., Arctium minus Mill. 11 In Japanese official medicine the fructus of Arctium lappa L are used. 12 Fresh roots of Arctium lappa L. harvested in the autumn of the first year or in the spring of the second year before florification are used to obtain pharmacopoeial homeopathic preparations. 13 In several in vitro, in vivo studies and clinical trials on volunteers antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, antitumor properties of extracts, aqueous extraction, essential oil, resinous substances and root juice were proven; anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-oxidant, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory potential of extracts and leaf juice was shown. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Burdock roots have a promising anti-diabetic effect which is manifested in the improvement of glucose homeostasis and a decrease in insulin resistance. 33 Big burdock root inulin is used for the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus, normalization of pancreatic function. [34][35][36][37] Water and ethanol fructus extracts reduce the production of histamine and pro-inflammatory

This article discusses the use of additives from the roots and rhizomes of inulin-containing plants in baking. A method has been developed for the production of bread with the addition of powders of wild-growing inulin-containing plants at a dosage of 1.5%, which makes it possible to obtain a new type of bread while reducing the consumption of baker’s yeast by 10-15%, or reducing the duration of dough fermentation by 15-20%. The content of inulin in 100 g of bread made from wheat flour with the addition of 1.5% to the mass of high elecampane powder is 0.41 g/100 g (S.V.), the fructose content is 0.35 g/100 g (S.V. ). It was found that the added additives do not reduce the microbiological safety of bread. So, QMAFAnM in the sample with high elecampane - 3.5 × 102, in the sample with dandelion officinalis - 1.0 × 102, in the sample with greater burdock 2.3 × 102, which meets the requirements of SanPiN. The quality indicators of powders from roots and rhizomes have been determined, their influence on the technological process of bread production has been studied. A rational dosage was established in the amount of 1.5% by weight of flour, which makes it possible to obtain bread with high quality indicators, increased nutritional value.
