Abstract:
From Galium aparine L. herb lipophilic complex of biologically active substances had been obtained for the first time. By means of TLC and chromatography-mass-spectrometry the composition of lipophilic complex had been studied. 3 Sesquiterpenoids, squalene, 7 aromatic compounds, higher alkanes and their derivatives, fatty acids have been identified and quantified; presence of chlorophylls, carotenoids and 2 iridoids had been established. Antibacterial and antifungal activity of Galium aparine herb lipophilic complex and degree of these activities have been studied for the first time. Test-strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans were highly sensitive and B. subtilis is moderately sensitive to lipophilic complex of Galium aparine herb.
