Research of the choice of the basis of a semi-solid medicine with a semi-solid extract of feverfew (tanacetum parthenium)

Abstract

In recent years, a number of scientific works by Ukrainian scientists have been devoted to the study of the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of insufficiently studied medicinal plants. At the Department of Botany of National University of Pharmacy (NUPh), under the leadership of Prof. Gontova T.M., a semi-solid extract of feverfew (SSFE) of the Asteraceae family was obtained. A high content of phenolic substances in the classes of hydroxycinnamic acids, and sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids was found.This spectrum of biologically active substances provides pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic effects, which was confirmed by pharmacological studies.
