Biologically active compounds of species, hybrids, and cultivars of peony introduced in the M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

Purpose. To reveal the raw material potential of representatives genus Paeonia L. introduced in M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden Academy Sciences Ukraine (NBG) terms content biologically active compounds.
 Methods. Introduced plants Paeonia: P. lactiflora Pall., officinalis and its hybrid forms: ‘Rubra Plena’, F1 (P. ‘Rub­ra Plena’ ´ peregrina Mill.), cultivar NBG ‘Kvazimodo’ ‘M-lle Jeanne Riviere’ [P. peregrina)], anomala were object research. The polyphenolic compounds, homopolysaccharides, ascorbic acid other substances was determined by spectrophotometry, titrimetry colorimetry. analysis compounds carried out method high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
 Results. Species varietal differences amount polyphenols various species forms determined. It found that roots studied peregrina), ‘Kvazimodo’, contain a much higher polysaccharides compared to anomala. In peony plants, average share vitamin C is 37.65% varies among range from 22.10 ± 2.18 [F1 peregrina)] 47.60 3.69 anomala) 49.30 5.50% lactiflora). maximum carotenoids (2.10 0.21 mg%) peregrina) (2.20 0.13 mg%). A significant free gallic observed anomala, halotannins lactiflora.
 Conclusions. results phytochemical studies species, hybrids cultivars NAS showed they accumulate level basic compounds: flavonoids, tannins, mono- polysaccharides, pigments are promising complex ingredients, since them greater quantities than those Hybrid created on basis these not inferior parent phenolic sugars, acid. roots, peoniflorin for (1.95%), (1.09%), (0.95%), (0.78%). offered cultivation purpose harvesting medicinal materials as source with possibility supplementing or even repla­cing official anomalous anomala).
