Abstract:
The research was aimed at studying the possibility of obtaining drug ointments with a potential anti-mycotic activity by using thick extracts obtained from the leaves of fustic, hazel, nut and bark of the oak. There were prepared the ointment compositions on different bases. As a methodology for studying the properties of the obtained ointments, there have been used the studies of colloidal stability and resorption of tanning substances in agar. The obtained results allow for making conclusion that the selected ointments are colloidally stable, and the values of movement of zones of biologically active substances in the agar body are large enough. These data allow for forecasting both the possibility of creating the similar ointment systems and their rather high properties. Based on the obtained data, there have been selected the ointment composition variants for further studies.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...
