TECHNOLOGY FOR CINAROSIDE PRODUCTION FROM THE AERIAL PART OF FERULA VARIA AND EVALUATION OF ITS HYPOAZOTEMIC ACTIVITY

摘要

The optimal regime of cinaroside extraction from the aerial part of Ferula varia has been found. A processing scheme for obtaining cinaroside has been developed on the basis of these data. Two samples of cinaroside (obtained by the laboratory and semi-industrial methods) are comparable to the well-known medicinal preparation lespenephryl with respect to hypoazotemic action. This fact indicates that Ferula varia is a valuable source of cinaroside. A technology has been developed for producing a new medicinal form of cinaroside in 0.05 g tablets.Plant preparations continue to play a leading role in medicine despite the widespread production of synthetic drugs. The ever increasing demand for new therapeutic agents makes it important to study wild medicinal plants.
