INVESTIGATION OF CYTOTOXIC AND CYTOSTATIC ACTIVITY OF FLAVONOID-CONTAINING EXTRACT OF KIRKAZONE OF LOMONOSOVIDE (ARISTOLOCHIA CLEMATITIS L.) IN EXPERIMENTS IN VITRO AND IN VIVO

Extract of folia and flores Aristolochia clematitis contains flavonoids and non-toxic. The extract has cytotoxic and cytostatic activity in normal animal cells. At concentrations of 15 mg/ml and higher, the extract results in 100% cell death of the Spev line. The number of dead cells of the Spev line as a whole increases with increasing concentration of the extract. The LC50 of the Kirkason extract was determined by the probit analysis method. LC50=7.24 mg/ ml. With an increase in the concentration of the extract, a marked decrease in the cell’s polymeric activity was observed.

Antimicrobial effect of tallest stonecrop (Sedum telephium L.) and big stonecrop (S. maximum (L.) Hoffm.) extracts

The quantitative content of flavonoid amount in aerial part of S. telephium L. and S. maximum (L.) Hoffm. is investigated. It was respectively 3.32% and 2.42% of the absolutely dry raw material mass. Antimicrobial activity of aqueous alco- holic extract of both species on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538Р, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27835, Escherichia coli ATCC  25922.
