Abstract—

One of the poorly studied and widespread plants in the Russian Far East is the Manchurian saw-wort (Serratula manshurica Kitag.). It is known that this plant is rich in phytoecdysteroids, which have high biological activity (anabolic, adaptogenic, cardiotropic, immunomodulatory effects). Two biologically active compounds of the flavonoid class were isolated from the aerial part of Serratula manshurica Kitag., growing in the Primorskii krai of the Far East of Russia by liquid extraction and recrystallization methods: quercetin-4'-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside and apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside. The structure of the isolated compounds was demonstrated by UV, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. The quantitative content of flavonoids in the aerial part of the Serratula manshurica plant in different phenological phases of plant development (luteolin-4'-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside, quercetin-4'-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside, apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside, 3-methylquercetin -4'-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside, quercetin, apigenin, 3-methylquercetin, luteolin, isokaempferide) was determined by the method of reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP HPLC). It was shown that the maximum content of flavonoid aglycones in plants was observed during the beginning of the growing season and in the budding phase, and their glycosides during the flowering phase. Thus, to obtain plant material with the maximum content of flavonoid aglycones (quercetin, 3-methylquercetin, luteolin) the collection of vegetative mass should be carried out during the beginning of the growing season, and their glycosides during the flowering period. Serratula manshurica Kitag., which grows abundantly on the territory of Primorskii krai, can be considered a constantly renewable and promising source for obtaining flavonoids.
