Chromato-mass-spectrometric research in Salvia grandiflora L., Salvia pratensis L. and Salvia verticillata L. aboveground organs

Abstract

The genus Salvia L. has more than 900 species distributed throughout the globe. 21 species are growing in Ukraine. All species of this genus have essential oils. Salvia officinalis and Salvia sclarea have been used in the culture and are widely used in medical practice. The chemical composition of other species of sage and the possibility of their use in pharmaceutical and medical practice are almost not studied. Taking into account the results of chemotaxonomic studies of species of the flora genus of Ukraine, their prevalence and prospects for introduction into the culture, for further studies were selected raw materials of S. grandiflora, S. pratensis and S. verticillata.
 The aim. The aim of the study was to conduct a chromato-mass spectrometric study of the aboveground organs of S. grandiflora L., S. pratensis L. and S. verticillata L. to establish the prospects for the use of raw materials of these species in medical and pharmaceutical practice.
 Materials and methods. The objects of the study were leaves of S. officinalis, leaves, stems and flowers of S. grandiflora, S. pratensis and S. verticillata, which were harvested on the basis of the botanical garden of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The research of volatile substances in the objects of the research was carried out by the method of GC-MS on the basis of the Department of Natural Sciences for Foreign Students and Toxicological Chemistry of Zaporizhia State Medical University.
 Results. As a result of the study, 243 substances were found in the objects of the study, of which 149 were identified. 77 substances were found in the leaves of S. officinalis, 80, 26 and 63 substances in the leaves, stems and flowers of S. grandiflora, respectively, in the leaves , stems and flowers of S. pratensis – 28, 30 and 48 substances, respectively, in leaves, stems and flowers of S. verticillata – 39, 22 and 39 substances, respectively. Dominant compounds among substances of terpenoid nature are: cyclofenchene, camphene, 1,8-cineole, α-thujone, β-thujone, camphor borneol, caryophyllene, humulene, viridiflorol, sabinene, pyranone, β-pinene, phytol, kolavenol, β-copaen, loliolide, pseudolimonene and spatulenol. Among the dominant substances, 8 were detected for the first time in these species: cyclofenchene, viridiflorol, sabinene, pyranone, phytol, kolavenol, loliolide and pseudolimonene.
 Conclusions. The leaves of S. officinalis, leaves, stems and flowers of S. grandiflora, S. pratensis and S. verticillata of the flora of Ukraine were studied by chromato-mass spectrometric method. As a result of the study, 243 substances were identified, of which 149 were identified. Promising raw materials containing terpene compounds for S. grandiflora there are leaves, and for S. pratensis and S. verticillata – flowers, so they are promising agents for introduction into pharmaceutical practice

Research in components of essential oils from flowers and leaves of the genus Alchemilla L. species

“…Cyclic terpenoid β-ionone reduces the growth of tumors and metastases [23]. Terpene α-terpineol in the experiment shows a pronounced antifungal activity against mycelial and yeast-like fungi, as well as antioxidant properties in the model oxidation system of methyl linoleate at the level of 80-95 % [24,25]. Monounsaturated diterpene alcohol phytol has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, is part of chlorophyll, vitamin E and K [15,26].…”

Variation in the composition of the essential oil of commercial Artemisia absinthium L. herb samples from different countries

“…The percentage composition of the EOs was calculated in peak areas using normalization method without correction factors. The relative standard deviation of percentages of oil components of three repeated GC analyses of a single EO sample didn't exceed 5 % [47,48].…”

Quantitative determination of the components of the mixture – ear drops “Melavet” by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography

“…Серед таких методів особливо важливою є високоефективна рідинна хроматографія (ВЕРХ). Розвиток цього методу відкриває можливості одночасного визначення сумішей, що містять десятки або навіть сотні компонентів (Martynyshyn et al, 2019;Hunchak et al, 2020;Myha et al, 2021). У відповідних умовах цей метод дозволяє ідентифікувати та кількісно визначати діючі речовини в лікарських засобах (Yaroshenko et al, 2021).…”
