Abstract:
BackgroundThe works done during the research include: conducting photochemical study on the surface of the piece of land on which the medicinal herbs chosen as samples for the research grow; extracting dry infusion from plants; identifying main substance and antibacterial activity of dry infusion; conducting pilot pharmacological experiment with mineral samples.GoalBased on the results of these experiments, we aimed at finding out wound healing functions of Chelidonium majus. L, Stellerae chamaejasme.L etc, widely used in both conventional and modern medicine as well as of such minerals as Sinder, Zeolite, Tormohon, Baragshun after selecting from them.Materials and MethodsAlkaloid, a biologically active substance found in surface of plant land and dry infusion, was determined by titration method, alkaloids such as protopine and berberine by high performance liquid chromatography, coumarin and flavonoid by spectrophotometric method, the amount of infusible substance by scale method. The methodologies of Gatsura.N and Avtandilov.G.G were adopted to make artificial wound on skin and to heal a wound respectively.ResultsAs the research result shows, the surface of the area where Stellerae chamaejasme.L grow, contains 0.33% ±0.004 total coumarin, 0.19 % ±0.002 flavonoid and 37.14 % ±0.61 infusible substance while that of Chelidonium majus.L contains 0.19% ±0.003 total alkaloid, 0.12 % ±0.004 flavonoid, 0.09 % ±0.002 coumarin and 36.27%±0.74 infusible substance. After the infusion was extracted from Stellerae chamaejasme.L and Chelidonium majus.L through method of percolation with mixer, there were 16% and 14.5% dry substance remained in the infusions respectively. These figures were reduced to 12.6% and 11.4% after freezing them in -500C for 72 hours in dry freezing. The fact that total coumarin contained in dry infusion of Stellerae chamaejasme.L is 2.95% and protopine and berberine in that of Chelidonium majus.L, is 28 мг,% and 3.7 мг,% respectively meets the requirements for medicinal plant extracts. It was found during the pharmacological experiment of preparing 25% oil ointment composed of minerals including Sinder, Tormohon, Zeolite, Baragshun that zeolite was the highest effective mineral in healing a wound by wound index. Therefore, we chose zeolite as an ingredient of the wound ointment. Oil ointments of 6 variations with 5% and 10% content were prepared from the dry infusion as well as minerals of the study plants, and pilot pharmacological experiment was conducted on an experimental mouse that had an artificial wound. The result of the experiment proved that oil ointments with 5% content of Stellerae chamaejasme.L, Chelidonium majus.L and zeolite were more effective in healing the wound than others.ConclusionBy photochemical analysis, the chosen plants proved to be meeting the requirements for medicinal plants. Pilot pharmacological experiment showed that zeolite was the one that accelerated a wound healing process more efficiently than others. Oil ointments with 5% content of dry infusion and 5% of zeolite were effective in healing a wound quickly.
