Considering the multifunctional effects of polysaccharides on the human body, it appears appropriate to expand the scope of research on plant raw materials rich in these compounds. In this context, one approach involves engaging researchers in the search for new plant sources of polysaccharides, investigating their pharmacological effects, and developing new medicinal products based on them. The use of plant-derived polysaccharides as therapeutic and preventive agents is a relevant and increasingly important area in medical practice. Polysaccharides are high-molecular-weight compounds formed by condensation of monosaccharide residues and their derivatives linked by glycosidic bonds. Chemical modification, such as sulfation, is a potential strategy for improving physicochemical properties, as well as enhancing the bioavailability and stability of polysaccharides. The diversity of natural resources provides continuously renewable sources of plant-derived polysaccharides and creates broad opportunities for studying their pharmacological properties. The review includes fundamental and applied studies indexed in bibliographic databases (such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, CyberLeninka, and eLibrary). The scientific data search was conducted using the keywords <italic>полисахариды растительного происхождения </italic>(plant-derived polysaccharides), <italic>фитопрепараты</italic> (phytopharmaceuticals), and <italic>химическая модификация полисахаридов </italic>(chemical modification of polysaccharides). This review presents an analysis of current data on plant-derived polysaccharides, highlighting the scientific and technological prerequisites for their application in the pharmaceutical industry in the near future. A comprehensive evaluation of plant-derived polysaccharides use as therapeutic and preventive agents incorporates perspectives from both Russian and international researchers. These findings indicate a pressing need for detailed investigation of the physicochemical properties of individual polysaccharides exhibiting pronounced immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and prebiotic activities.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Место и роль полисахаридов растительного происхождения в жизнедеятельности человека определяются их возрастающим влиянием на здоровье людей, процессы сохранения и приумножения человеческих ресурсов. Учитывая полифункциональный характер воздействия полисахаридов на организм человека, представляется целесообразным расширить диапазон изучения растительного сырья, обладающего высоким их содержанием. В этой связи одним из способов реализации данного направления является вовлечение ученых в поиск новых растительных ресурсов для выделения полисахаридов, изучение фармакологического действия и разработку новых лекарственных средств на их основе. Применение полисахаридов растительного происхождения как лекарственных и профилактических средств — одно из востребованных направлений в медицинской практике. Являясь высокомолекулярными соединениями, полисахариды образуются в результате конденсации моносахаридных остатков и их производных, соединенных между собой гликозидными связями. Возможным инструментом для улучшения физико-химических свойств, увеличения биодоступности и стабильности полисахаридов является химическая модификация, примером которой может служить сульфатирование. Разнообразие природных ресурсов нашей страны позволяет иметь постоянно возобновляемые источники полисахаридов растительного происхождения и предоставляет широкие возможности в изучении их фармакологических свойств. В обзорную статью включены литературные источники фундаментального и прикладного характера, опубликованные в библиографических базах (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, КиберЛенинка и еLibrаry). Поиск осуществлялся по ключевым терминам: «полисахариды растительного происхождения», «фитопрепараты» и «химическая модификация полисахаридов». В обзорной статье представлен анализ данных в области исследования полисахаридов растительного происхождения, который отражает предпосылки научно-технологических разработок для их применения в фармацевтической промышленности в ближайшей перспективе. В процессе комплексной оценки использования полисахаридов растительного происхождения в лекарственных и профилактических целях представлены точки зрения как отечественных, так и зарубежных ученых. Все они сводятся к тому, что наблюдается насущная необходимость детального изучения физико-химических свойств отдельных полисахаридов, обладающих ярко выраженной иммуномодулирующей, антиоксидантной и пребиотической активностью.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>medicinal products</kwd><kwd>plant-derived polysaccharides</kwd><kwd>properties</kwd><kwd>structure</kwd><kwd>pharmacological activity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>лекарственные средства</kwd><kwd>полисахариды растительного происхождения</kwd><kwd>свойства</kwd><kwd>строение</kwd><kwd>фармакологическая активность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Safonova NV, Trofimova EO.
