Biological study of gynostemma pentaphyllum (thunb.) Makino
The article is devoted to the pharmacognostic study of the herb Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino. The morphological and anatomical characteristics of the Gynostemma herb have been established. A quantitative assessment of diagnostically significant signs was carried out using a microscopic method. Using various analytical methods of phytochemical analysis, the quantitative content of the main groups of biological active substances was determined: tannins, ascorbic acid, free organic acids, polysaccharides, saponins and flavonoids. A high content of biologically active substances (saponins and flavonoids), which are pharmacologically active components in the herb Gynostemma pentaphyllum, was revealed. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
