Background:
Globally, researchers have found that while the use of synthetic drugs worldwide has increased by 2.1
2.5%, the use of natural medicines has grown by 3.5-4.8%. In modern times, the pharmaceutical industry has become
more advanced, and the use of plant-based medicines is increasing. As a result, there is a growing need to identify
biologically active compounds in medicinal plants and produce domestic pharmaceutical products to replace imported
medicines. Due to the limited research on evaluating the quality of the raw materials of the Asian globeflower(Тrollius
asiaticus L.) this study serves as a basis for assessing the quality of that flowers
Aim:
Determining the quality parameters of flower of Trollius asiaticus L.
Materials and Methods:
The research work was carried out with the support of the “Quality Control Laboratory for
Medicine” of the School of Pharmacy, MNUMS. The quality assessment of flower of Trollius asiaticus L. was conducted
according to established parameters outlined in the National Pharmacopoeia of Mongolia and Russian pharmacopeia and
Chinese pharmacopeia methods. Parameters such as appearance, and microbiological purity were evaluated. Statistical
analysis of research data was performed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 25 software to calculate the mean, standard
deviation, and percentage.
Results:
The flower of Trollius asiaticus L. is orange red or orange, plant does not contain organic and mineral impurities,
the quality analysis of flavonoid compounds by the thin layer chromatography, a spot with RF=0.5125 was detected at
the same level as orientin as a standard substance, and a spot with RF=0.875 was detected at the same level as gallic acid
as a standard substance when analyzing the quality of polyphenolic compounds, moisture contain is 5.52%, sulfated ash
contain is 9.12%, acid insoluble ash contain is 3.39%, water soluble extract contained 36.21%, the total polyphenolic
compound contained 5.37±0.22%, total flavonoid compound contained 0.0399±0.013%.
Conclusion
The quality parameters of flower of Trollius asiaticus L. have been determined by the Mongolia National of
Pharmacopoeia, the Pharmacopoeia of Russian and China.

Background:
Saponins are secondary metabolites in plants that play an important role in defense mechanisms and
physiological processes. Since stomatal cells are crucial for gas exchange and water balance in plant tissues, studying the
anatomical and biochemical features of stomatal cells in saponin-rich plant species provides insight into the interactions
between these compounds and cellular mechanisms. This serves as the basis of our study.
Aim:
To determine the structure, types, and functions of stomatal cells in saponin-containing medicinal plants
Materials and Methods:
During June–September 2024, nine species of saponin-containing medicinal plants were
collected from Bulgan, Tuv provinces, and “Gorkhi-Terelj National Park” in Mongolia. Prepared microscopic specimens
were examined using macroscopic and microscopic techniques to study the structure, position, number, and epidermal
features of stomatal cells.
Results:
The study revealed that Anemone crinita Juz. exhibited the highest stomatal density (107 stomata/mm²) and
epidermal cell density (229 cells/mm²), indicating strong adaptation and protective capacity in arid conditions. Vicia
baicalensis (Turcz.) B. Fedtsch. showed the highest stomatal index (39.6), highlighting its significant role in regulating
transpiration. Stomatal types varied among species:
• Anomocytic stomata were observed in Potentilla multifida and Vicia baicalensis.
• Anisocytic stomata were found in Delphinium grandiflorum and Ranunculus borealis.
• Paracytic stomata were present in Gentiana algida, Adenophora remotiflora, Helianthemum nummularium,
Anemone crinita, and Ranunculus acris.
Conclution
In the study of the structure, form, and number of stomatal cells in saponin-containing plants growing in
Mongolia, Anemone crinita Juz. was found to have the highest number of stomatal and epidermal cells, indicating its high
efficiency in gas exchange, water regulation, and protection against external stress. Furthermore, Vicia baicalensis (Turcz.)
B.Fedtsch. showed the highest stomatal index, confirming its strong capacity for active regulation of gas exchange.
The variation in stomatal cell types among plant species was identified as playing an important role in ecological and
biological adaptation as well as protective mechanisms.

Background:
Plants of the family Gentianaceae in Mongolia are rich in bitter iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and polyphenolic
compounds, and have been traditionally used in Mongolian medicine to promote digestion, protect the liver, and
reduce fever. However, standardized information on the micro-morphology and histochemical characteristics of the widely
distributed species Gentiana decumbens L.f. is scarce, limiting the assessment of its quality as a medicinal raw material.
Aim:
To identify the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the aerial and underground parts of Gentiana decumbens
and to localize the distribution of starch, polysaccharides, and phenolic compounds using histochemical methods.
Materials and Methods:
Plant materials were collected in July 2024 from Tsagaan-Uul soum, Khuvsgul province, andshade-dried. Samples were softened in a water–ethanol–glycerol solution (1:1:1) for 24 hours, and transverse and longitudinal
sections of stem, leaf, root, and floral parts (anther, petal, receptacle/bract) were prepared using a hand microtome.
Sections were cleared with 10% chloral hydrate. Histochemical reagents included potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), ferric
chloride (FeCl3), Lugol’s iodine (I₂+KI), thymol + concentrated H₂SO₄, and methylene blue. Slides were mounted in
glycerin and examined under an Olympus light microscope at 40× and 100× magnifications, and images were recorded
using a 12 MP digital camera.
Results:
Leaf: The leaf exhibits a dorsiventral structure with a dense palisade parenchyma on the adaxial side and a
loosely arranged spongy mesophyll on the abaxial side. Stomata are hypostomatic, and collenchyma is well developed
around the vascular bundles. Histochemical reactions were negative for starch and phenolic compounds. Stem: The stem
consists of an epidermis, a wide cortex, a continuous ring of sclerenchyma, 12–15 collateral vascular bundles, and a broad
central parenchyma. Histochemical tests showed a brownish-yellow coloration with potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7),
indicating the presence of polyphenols and lignin, and a brown coloration with Lugol’s iodine, confirming the presence
of starch. Reactions with ferric chloride (FeCl₃), methylene blue, and thymol + H2SO4 were mostly negative in cross sections.
However, in longitudinal sections, Lugol’s and thymol + H2SO4 showed positive reactions, suggesting the presence
of starch and polysaccharides, respectively. Root: The root displays a primary structure with radial xylem and phloem,
a distinct endodermis with Casparian strips, and a pericycle layer. Positive reactions were observed with K2Cr2O7 and
FeCl₃, indicating phenolic compounds and lignin. Lugol’s iodine showed abundant starch granules in parenchyma cells.
Receptacle / Bract: The receptacle is covered by a thick cuticular epidermis with trichomes, and composed of outer and
central parenchyma layers containing numerous small closed (amphivasal-type) vascular bundles. Positive reactions were
detected with K2Cr2O7 and FeCl₃, indicating polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins; Lugol’s iodine confirmed the presence
of starch; thymol + H2SO4 showed partial positivity for polysaccharides. Stamen (longitudinal section): The stamen structure
includes epidermis, endothecium, pollen sacs, and a distinct vascular bundle. Positive staining was observed with
K2Cr2O7, Lugol’s iodine, and FeCl3, confirming the presence of polyphenolic compounds, lignified elements, and starch.
Conclusion
The anatomical features of G. decumbens indicate adaptations to dry, high-light environments through
well-developed mechanical strengthening (sclerenchymatous ring), efficient photosynthetic structure (compact palisade
mesophyll), and nutrient storage (starch-rich pith and cortex). Histochemical analysis revealed the localization of polyphenolic
compounds and starch/polysaccharides mainly in the root, stem, and floral organs, while absent in the leaves,
demonstrating organ-specific accumulation patterns. These findings scientifically support the plant’s traditional medicinal
uses for digestive stimulation and hepatoprotection.
