Results of the study of the chemical composition of aerial parts of two plant species - Verbascum thapsus and Verbascum marschallianum of the Scrophulariaceae family collected during the fruiting period in the Altai region of Kazakhstan are presented in the article. The quantitative and qualitative composition of biologically active substances was determined. Samples of Verbascum thapsus, contain 0.63% alkaloids, 0.43% saponins, 0.15% organic acids, 2.30% tannins, 1.07% flavonoids, 0.43% coumarins and 1.62% iridoids. Samples of Verbascum marschallianum contain 0.69% alkaloids, 0.50% saponins, 0.65% organic acids, 1.02% tannins, 1.45% flavonoids, 0.96% coumarins, 2.29% iridoids. The variety of biologically active compounds present in the studied plant species results in a wide range of biological activity. A comparative analysis of the mineral, amino and fatty acid composition of plants Verbascum thapsus and Verbascum marschallianum was carried out. The total content of free amino acids was 83.86-85.84%. Analysis of the mineral composition showed the presence of 11 mineral elements: K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe, Ni, Mn, which allows us to recommend the studied plants as a raw material rich in macro- and microelements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
