Evseeva S.B., Sysuev B.B.

Abstract

In contemporary pharmaceutical practice extracts are used as a separate cosmetic product and as an intermediate for external medicinal forms (ointments, gels, liniments) and cosmetic forms. Their range is highly diverse. The aim is an overview of the scientific and technical information concerning plant raw materials extracts using in the external drug and cosmetic products. Methods. To describe the range of extracts proposed for external use the analysis of the proposals of Russian and foreign producers submitted their official websites and online trading platforms was used. The specificity of extraction of biologically active substances of plant extracting agents: water, ethyl alcohol, glycols, vegetable oils, carbon dioxide used to obtain extracts was described on the basis of available scientific literature (eLIBRARY, PubMed, Cyberleninca, Google Books). Results. Examples of external drugs and cosmetic products based on plant raw materials extracts from a range of pharmaceutical organizations are given. It was found that from the extracting solvent used the range is presented by hydrophilic, such as glycol (propylene glycol, glycerin), water, alcoholic extracts; lipophilic (oil, CO-extracts), and two-phase (caprylic/caprate triglyceride/water extracts). The main features of the extracting solvent used for this cate- gory of extracts: the specifics of the use in cosmetics (the skin specific effect), in particular selectivity to groups of biologically active plant substances, microbiological purity, are noted. Results of research data on the study of the prospects for the use of cosmetic ingredients - silicones, caprylic/ capric triglyceride, isopropyl myristate both solvents. The extraction techniques: classical (maceration, percolation) and intensified (electro-plasma dynamic extraction, vacuum extraction circulation, CO supercritical extraction) used in industry to produce cosmetic extracts are described. Conclusion: in this way, the range of extracts for use in exterior cosmetics is very diverse and is characterized by the use of different solvents, performing the function of the components in cosmetics, and extraction methods.

Kim M.E., Murzagulova K.B., Stepanova E.F.

Abstract

Interest to research in the development of new formulations of antituberculosis drugs due to the high incidence of tuberculosis in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation nowadays, including with acquired drug resistance. The reason for the development of acquired drug resistance is to interrupt the treatment of patients is the high toxicity of antituberculosis drugs. The improving the efficiency of antituberculosis therapy remains one of the most pressing. The aim this study was to review the dosage forms of antituberculosis drugs currently used and the ways to improve them. Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of scientific analysis (eLibrary database, PubMed, Cyberleninca), patent (kzpatents), reference (Klifar, Drugs register) and technical literature. Results. It was revealed that the antituberculosis drugs are available in the form of tablets, capsules, granules for oral use and injection solutions. The advantages and disadvantages of oral dosage forms of antituberculosis drugs: tablets, capsules, granules, syrups, suspensions are described. The importance of the development and implementation in practice of pediatric formulations of antituberculosis drugs is mentioned. The state of current research inhaled formulations for the treatment of tuberculosis is described. The prospects of directional inhalation exposure by immobilization of antituberculosis drugs in liposomes, niosomes, nanocapsules, micelles, micro- and nanoparticles are mentioned. The prospect of the rectal formulations use is described. The increase in interest in the molecular encapsulation of medicinal substances with cyclodextrins in connection with the possibility of increasing the bio- availability of active ingredients, reduce the harmful effects on the gastrointestinal tract, extension, elimination of interaction of incompatible components in combination preparations, the protection of unstable substances is marked. Conclusion: the analysis showed the possibility of improving the antituberculosis drugs by creating more comfortable for the reception in the different conditions of dosage forms, as well as the use of antituberculosis drugs immobilization for reducing toxicity, increasing bioavailability and sustained action.

DETERMINATION OF FLAVONOIDS OF WILLOW TRIANDRA (SALIX TRIANDRA L.), GROWING IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS

Sannikova E.G., Popova O.I., Frolova O.O., Airapetova A.U.

Abstract

Plants of willow genus are rich in various flavonoids. In 60-e years of the XX century the works of V. A. Kompantsev showed that leaves of willow triandra, growing in the North Caucasus, contain up to 5% of rutin. The method, which required long sample preparation (extraction of the raw material with TLC, chromatographic layer extraction with methanol, removal of the solvent, dissolution in ethanol, optical density measurements) was used. Currently available and simple methods for the determination of rutin in plant material are described. Given that leaves of Salix triandra contain significant amounts of rutin and can be a potential raw material for the creation of medicines on their basis, it is essential to determine the amount of flavonoids in the leaves of Salix triandra and its branches. The purpose of this study is determination of the amount of flavonoids in the willow triandra, growing in the North Caucasus, depending on the place and time of collection. Methods. TLC and the method of differential spectrophotometry were used to study chemical reactions. Results. The presence of flavonoids in various vegetative plant organs was established using qualitative reactions (cyanidin test; boric-citric reaction; the reaction with solution of lead acetate and solution of ammonia). Rutin and quercetin flavonoids in the presence of standard samples were identified using TLC. the method of differential spectrophotometry, based on the reaction of flavonoids with aluminum chloride was used for the quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids. It is shown that the greatest quantity of flavonoids amount accumulated in the leaves (up to 3.76%), its value in branches is slightly smaller (up to 3.26%). The branches without leaves have almost 10 times less flavonoids. It was established experimentally that the accumulation of flavonoids in raw material of Salix triandra is dependent on the place and time of raw materials gathering. Conclusion. The results confirmed the previously obtained information about the fact that Salix triandra mainly contains rutin. The method of differential spectrophotometry allows determining the amount of flavonoids with a relative error not exceeding 2.5%.

THE STUDY OF CELL HOMEOSTASIS STATE OF THE GASTRIC MUCOSA OF RATS ON MODEL OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, TREATMENT WITH IBUPROFEN AND ITS COMBINATION WITH VINBORON

Hladkykh F.V., Stepaniuk N.H., Vernihorodskyi S.V.

Abstract

Introduction. The use of NSAIDs in clinical practice is known for a significant reduction of side effects risks, among which the largest share of toxic effects on the digestive system. At the same time, the attention of researchers is increasingly payed to a specific syndrome associated with application of this group of drugs - NSAIDs gastropathy, with necrosis of epithelial cells as a possible morphological substrate. However, as the recent studies have shown, necrosis is not the only, but also is not the main cause of cell death. Apoptosis, the programmed cell death, is observed more often than necrosis. Besides, ulcerogenesis problem is closely linked to the ability of the gastric mucosa epithelium to adequate regeneration. This necessitates a search for the ways to correct the effect of non-steroidal antiphlogistics on the processes of apoptosis and proliferous activity of epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. Materials and methods. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on paraffin sections using streptavidin-biotin method (“DAKO”, Denmark; LSAB2 Systems, HRP). Antigen unmasking was performed in citrate buffer pH 6.0. Mice`s and rabbit`s monoclonal antibodies were used as the primary antibodies. The cell nuclei were colored with Mayer’s hematoxylin for 15-60 seconds. Condition gastric epithelial proliferative activity was studied using a mouse monoclonal antibody to nuclear antigen Ki-67 (“DAKO”, MIB-1 clone, Denmark) as a sensitive marker of proliferation by T. Scholzen. To characterize the activity of apoptosis the expression of CPP32 (caspase-3) in the gastric mucosa was examined, using semiquantitative rating scale color intensity of 0 (none) - no positive reactions in cells, 1 (weak) - up to 30% of the cells reacted positively 2 (moderate) - 31-60%, and 3 (strong) - 60% more stained cells. Results and Discussion. Analysis of the results of immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67 and CPP32 showed that the basis of gastroprotective effect of vinboron with ibuprofen-induced gastropathy in rats with adjuvant arthritis is its ability to enhance the regenerative properties of the gastric epithelium by restoring the proliferative activity. In addition vinboron is able to inhibit apoptosis induced by ibuprofen epithelial cells of the stomach, which helps to maintain cellular homeostasis of the gastric mucosa.
