Phytochemical composition of the underground part of Paeonia tenuifolia L. and leaves of Petrocoma hoefftiana (Fisch.) Rupr.

Abstract

The phytochemical composition of plants is very diverse and includes many biologically active substances, and their combination determines the pharmacological activity. This article examines the phytochemical composition of the underground part of Paeonia tenuifolia L. and leaves of Petrocoma hoefftiana (Fisch.) Rupr. It was found that the studied objects contain glycyrrhizic acid, peucedanin, flavonoids, phloroglucides, tannins, ascorbic acid. The studied plants can be considered as a new type of plant raw materials, promising for further study.
