Abstract

Preparations containing complexes of biologically active substances extracted from medicinal plants act upon various systems of the organism, including the antioxidant protection system. For this reason, phytopreparations can be used both for the prophylaxis and for the complex therapy of free-radical pathologies. The antioxidant activity of phytopreparations is determined by the features of their chemical structures and by the content of biologically active substances. Therefore, it is necessary to study how the qualitative and quantitative composition and the interaction between various biologically active substances of medicinal plants influence the antioxidant activity of phytopreparations. Previously [1] we estimated the antioxidant activity of tinctures and balsams. This study is devoted to the antioxidant properties of individual biologically active compounds and aqueous tinctures from raw plant materials. Based on these data, we established relationships between the level of antioxidant activity of phytopreparations and the content of various biologically active substances belonging to various chemical groups.
