POLYPHENOLIC STATUS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF THE HERB THYMUS SERPYLLUM L.

Phenolic compounds are the most numerous and studied group of plant biology activity compounds. participate in various metabolic processes, which cause their biological activity. All natural phenolic low toxicity show a wide range effects on human body. The promising area applied research is study antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxic properties order to obtain safe drugs origin for pharmaceutical industry. search new sources can be an effective, environmentally economically advantageous alternative synthetic analogues. Compounds polyphenolic nature almost class biologically active substances that exhibit high antioxidant status and, as result, have pharmacotherapeutic For analysis, alcohol-water extract thyme herb obtained by infusing 7 days was used. content flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids amount were determined spectrophotometrically terms rutin, chlorogenic acid gallic acid, respectively. It shown sum investigated samples 1.531, 0.505 5.478%, Antioxidant vitro. A 0.1% solution adrenaline hydrochloride used system produces superoxide radical, taking autoxidation into adrenochrome alkaline environment. During activity, sufficiently level it found extract, indicators 50% at beginning exposure, increased 57,45% after 15 seconds gradually decreasing further, still remained pronounced. calculated rate reaction experimental sample with addition creeping 0.0310 ou/min, against control – 0.0446 where pure used, while indicator percentage inhibition when using tested 30.33%.
