METABOLOME COMPOSITION OF STINGING NETTLE GROWING IN THE CENTRAL CHERNOZEM REGION (REVIEW)

The plant metabolome is the totality of all primary and secondary metabolites can be considered as a result implementation genetic information, «link» between genotype phenotype. chemical composition most medicinal plants herbal preparations derived from them, which are multicomponent extracts, not always fully known. Stinging nettle one valuable with wide distribution area. materials includes large number classes various biologically active substances (BAS). study profiles an important direction for studying variability phytochemical depending on climatic conditions growth, harvesting drying. In work, collection analysis scientific information groups their identification in extracts raw material stinging (leaves grass) growing territory Central Black Earth region Russia was carried out by TLC using so-called «fingerprint» method or «bar coding». literature data results comprehensive this (flavonoids, chlorophyll compounds, carotenoids, tannins, oxycinnamic acids, amino organic triterpene glycosides, polysaccharide complex, vitamins some macroelements) scientists over past 20 years summarized systematized. nettle, Chernozem region, showed, accumulate free acids polysaccharides significant quantities. water-soluble simple sugars, group B, well complete acid studied leaves capillary electrophoresis. A content riboflavin choline, butyric succinic has been established. Flavonoids represented aglycones mainly quercetin, isorhamnetin kaempferol. main representatives hydroxycinnamic chlorogenic 2-coffee-malic rosemary acids. As chemomarkers, neochlorogenic cryptochlorogenic – isomers caffeoylquinic caffeic, cafftaric n-coumaric used.
