MEDICINAL PLANTS – SOURCES OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

Аннотация

Approximately a third of all medicinal preparations are made from plants or with the participation of substances of plant origin. It is more economical to extract the synthesis of some chemical compounds contained in plants and determining the therapeutic effect of a drug from plant raw materials. It has been established that in a number of cases, the therapeutic effect of plant preparations is determined not only by the main active substance, but by the entire complex contained in it, including sugars, mineral salts, and microelements.
