Some morphological-diagnostic and phytochemical features of Sedum L. plants

Abstract

Results of morphological-diagnostic and phytochemical features of 9 species of Sedum L. plants have been presented. Features of authenticity of external and internal characters of medicinal vegetable raw materials have been analyzed. It has been established that taking into account an anatomic-diagnostic structure of a leaf-plate at the studied types, as diagnostic criterion of vegetable raw materials features of a morphological structure of vegetative and generative tissues of plants can be used. Alkaloids, amino, phenolic and hydroxycinnamic acids, anthocyanins, anthracens and tannins, iridoids, xanthones, coumarins, triterpenoids, carbohydrates, phenols and flavonoids which distinguishes of Sedum L. plants from Kazakhstan, by results of the phytochemical analysis, was determined. Results of the comparative quantitative analysis for each of the revealed structural types of biologically active substances, depending on the growth place and the vegetation phases of plants have been presented. For determination of the most perspective places and terms of industrial preparations of Sedum L. species from Kazakhstan, the revealed features of the phytochemical composition and dynamics of accumulating of biologically active substances, can be used. On base of the revealed data of determination of authenticity of external and internal characters of medicinal vegetable raw materials, the possibility of use of features of a morphological structure of vegetative and generative tissues of the Sedum L. species from Kazakhstan, taking into account an anatomic-diagnostic structure of leaf-plate, as diagnostic criterion of vegetable raw materials has been proved.
