One of the tasks of pharmacy is to find affordable raw materials for herbal medicines. The studies were conducted in Azerbaijan. The results of the studies indicate that Onobrychis species are a rich source of β-arbutin. Arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside), a monoglycoside form of hydroxyquinone, has been used in the field of cosmetology for several decades due to its effectiveness in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and removal of freckles. Onobrychis species are of significant ecological and economic importance, and also demonstrate intriguing therapeutic properties that have attracted attention in the field of medicine. The presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenols, which are known for their antioxidant properties, is another noteworthy aspect. Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing harmful free radicals in the body, which are involved in a wide range of diseases and the aging process. Onobrychis has anti-inflammatory properties. It is well known that inflammation is a common factor in many chronic diseases. Plants have antimicrobial, immunostimulating, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, gastrointestinal tract normalizing and vascular wall strengthening properties. The study of Onobrychis opens up potential prospects in the field of creating natural products.
