The biologically active coumarins from Ferula L. species of the family Apiaceae Lindl. for the period 1970 to 2022 have been reviewed. The phytochemical investigation of different parts of Ferula L., including gum resin, leaves, fruits, seeds, roots, rhizomes, and resins led to the separation of different types of coumarins. Nearly 185 coumarins were isolated from 35 species of Ferula L. growing in different countries. Coumarins are represented mainly by umbelliferone (7-O-hydroxycoumarin) derivatives substituted in the C-7 position of aglycone, furanocoumarins and metabolites have terpene fragments, esters and glycosides. Umbelliferon is found as a taxon for the genus Ferula L. Some «unusual» metabolites have a furan fragment attached to the pyrone ring. Coumarins are of the psoralen type, containing a furan ring in the C-6 and C-7 positions of the primary skeleton. The rare coumarins with terpene fragments (hemiterpene, monoterpen, sesquiterpene) were reported. The biological activities of some extracts and individual metabolites such as antiinflammatory, cytotoxicity, antibacterial, antileishmanial, antiviral, antigenotoxic, antitumor, anticoagulant, antioxidant, antimycobacterial, inhibition a-glucosidase, antileishmanial were found.
The article presents for the first time data on the study of the component composition of the aboveground mass (leaves, stems, flowers) of the Hedysarum songoricum Bong. of the family Fabaceae Lindl. harvested in accordance with the principles of World Health Organization guidelines on good agricultural and collection practices ( GACP) for medicinal plants in June 2021 in the flowering phase on the territory of Zhambyl areas. According to the generally accepted standard methods of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the preparation, primary processing and parameters of pharmacopoeia of plant raw materials are carried out. Estimated indicators of humidity -loss of mass during drying (4,40 %), and total ash (5,06 %) correspond to the norms of quality raw materials. Different polar and non-polar organic extractants were used to determine
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.
