In the present paper are discussed the results of
the investigations of the phenylpropanoids of the medicinal plants which are of the great interest as the
sources of the neurotropic, adaptogenic, immunostimulating,
antioxidative, and hepatoprotective preparations. There were shown the
necessity of using of the standard samples of triandrin (Rhodiola rosea L. tissue cultures, Salix viminalis L. barks), rosavin (Rhodiola rosea L. rhizomes), syringin, or eleutheroside B [Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et
Maxim.) Maxim. rhizomes, Syringa vulgaris L. barks], and silybin [Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. fruits] for purpose of the standardization of the corresponding
drugs and pharmaceuticals. It was shown also the significance of γ-schizandrin,
chicoric acid, rosmarinic acid and lavandoside for purposes of the standardization
of raw material and preparations of Schizandra
chinensis Baill. fruits and seeds, Echinacea
purpurea (L.) Moench. herbs, Melissa
officinalis L. herbs and Lavandula
spica L. flowers respectively.
