Development and validation of a procedure for the quantitative determination of polysaccharides in linden flowers
摘要
Introduction. Linden flowers are pharmacopeial medicinal plant raw material (MPRM), containing polysaccharides. Nowadays, according to the current regulatory documentation, the assessment of the content of biologically active substances (BAS) is carried out only for flavonoids. To improve the standardization of linden flowers, the development and validation of the spectrophotometric procedure of polysaccharides determination with anthrone reagent is proposed to be relevant.
Objective: To develop and validate a procedure for the quantitative determination of polysaccharides in linden flowers.
Material and methods. In the development and validation of the procedure we used the method of differential spectrophotometry based on the complexation reaction of linden hydrolysate sugars with an anthrone reagent. The resulting complex has an absorption maximum of 625±2 nm, the reference standard (RS) of glucose was used as a comparison solution. The influence of extraction conditions on the yield of polysaccharides from raw materials was studied: the size of raw material particles, the ratio of raw material and extractant, the duration of extraction, as well as the selection of optimal conditions for the complexation reaction. Validation of the procedure was carried out according to the indicators: specificity, linearity and representativeness, trueness, repeatability, intermediate precision (reproducibility).
Results. The optimal parameters of polysaccharides extraction from raw material were determined (three-stage extraction with distilled water on a water bath, the ratio “raw material – extractant” – 1:30 for 30 minutes, the size of raw material particles – 2,0 mm). The conditions of complex formation reaction were selected (ratio “extract – complexing agent” – 1:2, complexing agent is anthrone reagent, appearance of stable coloring of the solution in 25 minutes). During the validation of the developed procedure, it was found that the validation characteristics are within the criteria of acceptability. In the analysis of linden flowers, it was found that the content of reducing sugars in the polysaccharide composition was 1,9–3,1%.
Conclusion. Optimal parameters of polysaccharide extraction from raw materials were determined, conditions of complex formation reaction were selected, and the procedure validation was carried out. The total content of reducing sugars in the polysaccharide composition in terms of absolutely dry raw material in linden flowers using differential spectrophotometry was determined.

Eutectic solvents for the extraction of phenolic compounds from the Moldovan Dragonhead
摘要
Introduction. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are of interest to modern pharmaceutical technology as alternative extractants to traditional organic solvents. The prospects for their use are due to low toxicity, biodegradability, the possibility of selective extraction of individual substances and regeneration of the extractant.
The purpose of the study is to develop and optimize a technology for ultrasonic extraction of phenolic acids from the Moldovan dragonhead using DES, and to study the antioxidant activity of the resulting extracts.
Results. 11 DES compositions with different molar ratios of components were obtained; the optimal composition one was selected based on choline and lactic acid in a molar ratio of 1:3. The dependence of the extraction of phenolic compounds on the composition of DES, the influence of water content in the composition of DES on the process of extraction of phenolic compounds have been studied. Data were obtained on the antioxidant activity of the Moldavian snakehead extract obtained using DES.
Conclusion. A method has been developed for the extraction of phenolic acids from the Moldavian snakehead with deep eutectic solvents. The extraction efficiency of the DES-3 mixture based on choline chloride and lactic acid in a molar ratio of 1:3 has been proven. The content of phenolic compounds in terms of rosmarinic acid was 7.72±0.12%, which is 0.23% more than when using 50% ethyl alcohol as an extractant. Using cyclic voltammetry, it was established that the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained using DES is due to the content of rosmarinic acid.
