HYPOLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY OF THE PHYTOCOMPLEX OF THE HERB PHACELIA TANACETIFOLIA BENTH.

Abstract

Introduction. The use of phenolic compounds as agents for preventing the risk of developing various cardiovascular diseases, as well as the prospect of creating new modern highly effective drugs based on them, is of current practical interest. The aim of the study is to identify the hypolipidemic activity of the phytocomplex of the herb Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth., and the possibility of its use in herbal preparations for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Material and methods. The object of research was a herb of phacelia tanacetifolia, grown in the Neftekumsky region. The herb was collected during flowering and dried by air-shadowing method. The study of hypolipidemic activity was carried out on 24 white female Wistar rats weighing 270290 g. In the experiment, a Tween model of hyperlipidemia was created and used: a single intraperitoneal injection of Tween-80 at a dose of 250 mg / 100 g of body weight. Lipid profile analysis was carried out on a biochemical analyzer RAL CLIMA MC-15 using reagents from DiaSys, manufactured in Germa-ny. Results. Based on the level of triglycerides and very low density lipoproteins, it was found that the phytocomplex significantly exceeded the values of the reference drug (fenofibrate-canon). Conclusions. In conditions of twin hyperlipidemia, therapeutic and prophylactic administration of the Phacelia tanacetifolia phytocomplex at a dose of 300 mg/kg helps to normalize blood serum lipid metabolism.
