Abstract:
The aim of the study was a preliminary study of plant samples collected by targeted expeditions of the department of pharmacobotany (Department of Phytochemistry) of the IG Kutateladze Institute of Pharmacochemistry for the period 2016-2017. In total, 341 objects from (106 various) plants belonging to 36 families and 93 genus were analyzed. The objects were obtained polar and non-polar fractions; flavonoids and triterpenoids were found in them qualitatively. To characterize used P /CH and TLC analysis in various solvent systems. Flavonoids were isolated from Geranium ibericum and Polygonum carneum, which were identified as quercetin-3-0-β-D-galactopyranoside-hyperin (G. ibericum), 3 5, 7 ', 3'.4' pentahydroxy-flavone - quercetin (G. ibericum, P. сarneum) and quercetin-3-0-rutinozide - rutin (P. сarneum). G. ibericum and P.carneum flora of Georgia are found and studied for the first time. Representatives of the family Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Helleboraceae, Polygonaceae, Scrophula riaceae deserve a particular interest in the content of triterpenoids.
