Development of a methodology for the quantitative determination of essential oils using peroxic acids

Agafonov A.M., Remezova I.P., Anosova L.S.

Abstract

Introduction. Essential oils of plants are a variety of mixtures of compounds, most of which are terpenoids. They are characterized by the following pharmacological indicative properties: antiseptics against a wide range of bacteria and fungi (eucalyptus oil, cumin, cinnamon, clove oil); antispasmodics (mint oil); mucolytics and diuretics (turpentine oil from conifers); and also exhibit anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects. Aniseed oil stimulates the secretion of bronchial glands, ammonia promotes the release of sputum and its easy excretion. Quality control of medicines based on essential oils (anise oil) is very difficult and requires expensive equipment.

Objective: to study the kinetics of the reaction of epoxidation with trans-anethole peroxic acid and, based on the data obtained, to develop a simple method for the quantitative determination of anise oil in ammonia-anise drops and in dill water.

Material and methods. As objects for the study, ammonia-aniseed drops of factory manufacture ("LLC "Ternopharm"), extemporally prepared dill water ("LLC "Pharmacy No. 122") and the chemical substance trans-anetol were used. To quantify the main component of the essential oil, we used an epoxidation reaction using the highest aliphatic peroxic acid – peroxidecanoic acid (C10) as an oxidizer in methylene chloride at room temperature.

Results. Kinetic curves of the reaction of epoxidation of the objects of study with peroxic acid are obtained. The stoichiometry of the reaction and the optimal conditions of the epoxidation reaction (t – 40 min, 293°K) and the reaction rate in dichloromethane (kef=0.3 l/mol·min) were established, and used for the analysis of ammonia-aniseed drops and dill water.

Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, a simple method for determining essential oils using peroxic acids has been developed, which allows for quality control of medicines without the use of expensive equipment.

Regulation of the antioxidant defense system in the liver of white rats against the background of drug-induced hepatitis

Baghirov I.M., Guliyeva S.V.

Abstract

Introduction. Medicinal hepatitis is one of the pathologies characteristic of modern times. The cause of the disease is taking medications without medical supervision and, on the other hand, an increase in the range of drugs with a hepatotoxic effect.

Purpose of the study. To study the antioxidant effect created at the Scientific Research Center of the Azerbaijan Medical University by Professor Kh.I. Gasanov of the complex compound (C8H12ON)2 [PdCl4], synthesized on the basis of palladium and mexidol.

Material and methods. To study its effect on a living organism, an experiment was conducted on 30 outbred white rats. The experimental animals were divided into 6 groups of 5 animals each.

Results and discussions. 3 days after the modeling of medicinal hepatitis in the liver tissue, a weakening of the antioxidant defense system was observed. The obtained results show that the model of medicinal hepatitis created using paracetamol was stable, and the concentration of markers of the antioxidant defense system in the homogenate continued to decrease, despite the 10th day after the creation of the pathological process. As a result of exposure to KSPM introduced into the body, the average concentration of markers of the antioxidant defense system in the liver homogenate increased significantly. There was also an increase in the concentration of PB-SH, the concentration of the internal group of the protein-SH, peroxidase activity, catalase activity and TAA.

Conclusion. It has been established that the drug increases the concentration of markers of the antioxidant defense system in the liver of white rats, created against the background of a hepatitis model. The effect of the synthesized biologically active substance depends on the time of its introduction into the body.
