СРАВНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ОЦЕНКА АНТИОКСИДАНТНОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ ТРАВЫ И КОРНЕЙ ЦИКОРИЯ ОБЫКНОВЕННОГО, ПРОИЗРАСТАЮЩЕГО НА ТЕРРИТОРИИ ОРЕНБУРГСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ

Abstract

The purpose of the work: to study the effect of water extracts of herb and roots of Cichorium intybus L., growing in the Orenburg region, on the processes of free radical oxidation in in vitro systems. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were samples of C. intybus L. raw materials collected in 2020 in the Adamovsky, Belyaevsky, Buzuluksky and Tulgansky districts of the Orenburg region. The antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts from raw materials was determined by the method of registration of chemiluminescence on the device "Chemiluminomer KhLM-003" in systems simulating the processes of production of reactive oxygen species in the Central Research Laboratory of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Bashkir State Medical University" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation . Statistica 10.0 for Windows (StatSoft, Inc.) was used for statistical processing. Results. The analysis of the obtained results established that the samples of the roots of C. intybus L. growing in the Adamovsky district of the Orenburg region, as well as all the studied samples of the herb of C. intybus L., have antioxidant properties. It was found that the most pronounced antioxidant activity, expressed in the inhibitory effect of extracts from raw materials samples on chemiluminescence in model systems, is shown by the herb of C. intybus L., growing in the Buzuluksky district of the Orenburg region, and the roots of C. intybus L., collected in the Adamovsky district of the Orenburg region. Conclusion. The herb of of Cichorium intybus L., growing in the Orenburg region, and the roots of Cichorium intybus L., collected in the Adamovsky district, can be considered as potential promising sources of natural antioxidants of plant origin.
