Биологически активные соединения травы фиалки короткошпорцевой

The composition of phenolic compounds of short-spurred violet grass Viola brachyceras Turcz. has been investigated. Thirteen substances, which structurally belong to flavanoids, have been identified by high-performance liquid chromatography, including tannin, epicatechin, and gallic, chlorogenic, caffeic, chicoric, ferulic, neochlorogenic and cinnamic acids; flavonoids include rutin, apigenin, luteolin, and naringenin. The contents of twenty elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr and Ba) have been measured by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Phenolic compounds and elemental composition of the Viola brachyceras Turcz. are reported for the first time. The obtained data are of interest for the further investigation of pharmacological properties of short-spurred violet grass as a valuable raw material for producing new drugs.
