The study of the antioxidant activity of the antiulcerous plant composition and its components

At present, the expansion of research to find sources for obtaining new effective and safe medicines of plant origin, including those used in gastroenterological practice, is a pressing task of medical science, considering that the range of medicinal plant drugs used in practical health care is more than 40%. The article presents the results of biochemical study of total antioxidant activity of anti-ulcer collection of plant origin and its individual components. We show that it consists of the leaves of the planter large (Plantago major L.), grass of a sushchenitsa uliginose (Gnaphalium uliginosum L.), rhizomes and roots of the devisil high (Inula helenium L.), flowers of the chamomile pharmacy (Matricaria chamomilla L.), the roots of licorice naked (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.), grass of bird's mountain (Polygonum aviculare L.), leaves of the nettle (Urtica dioica L.), fruits of a mountain ash ordinary (Sorbus aucuparia L.) and its individual components have pronounced antioxidant activity. The greatest activity was found in the roots of licorice naked, grass of bird 's mountain and flowers of chamomile pharmacy. Total antioxidant activity of water extraction of collection recovery at 6.34% from exceeded the calculated value obtained by summing the activities of the individual components of the collection, which indicates the presence of synergy in their action, which may be of importance for use in the treatment and prevention of diseases in gastroenterological practice. The detected increase in the antioxidant activity of the new collection compared to the effects of its individual components allows it to be considered as a promising dosage form for the treatment and prevention of gastroenterological diseases.
