COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS COMPOSITION IN THE LEAVES AND FRUITS OF <i>HEDERA CAUCASICA</i>

Abstract

A comparative study of the biologically active compounds (BAC) composition of alcoholic extracts of leaves and fruits was carried out by GLC-MS. It is shown that the BAC composition of leaves of Hedera caucasica is more extensive: the structure of 22 following compounds was determined: pinene, catechol, germacrene, sinapic alcohol, phytol, falkarinol, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid and their esters; stigmasterol, lupeol, sitosterol, panaxadiol and panaxinon. The last three compounds - panaxidol, panaxinon and sitosterol - were not found in fruit extract.
