Abstract
Actuality.Considering the significance of macro-and microelements in maintaining the vital functions of a human body, it is important to determine their qualitative and quantitative composition in medicinal plant raw materials.Promising objects of study include species of the genus Parthenocissus Planch.-P.quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata, which are widespread in Ukraine and possess both decorative and pharmacological value.However, modern professional literature lacks data on the mineral element content in the raw materials of P. quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata.The raw materials of these species contain a wide range of biologically active substances, such as stilbenes, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other substances that have antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and senolytic activities. . 1, 2025 211 . The aim of the work -to investigate the elemental composition of P. quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata raw materials in comparison with the elemental composition of the soil.Materials and methods.Leaves and shoots of P. quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata were collected during the flowering phase (July), and fruits during full ripeness (September-October) in 2023 in Lisnyky village and Skvyra town, Kyiv Oblast (Ukraine).The study of the qualitative composition and quantitative content of mineral elements was carried out by the X-ray fluorescence method on the energy dispersive spectrometer "ElvaX-med" (Elvatech Ltd., Ukraine) in the Scientific and Technical centre "Viria Ltd." (Kyiv, Ukraine).Research results.The leaves and shoots of both species of Parthenocissus accumulated a higher total content of mineral elements compared to the fruits.The mineral content in the leaves and shoots of P. quinquefolia (2297.23 mg/100 g) was slightly higher than in P. tricuspidata (2112.52 mg/100 g) collected in Lisnyky village, and in P. tricuspidata (1650.78mg/100 g) collected in Skvyra town, significantly exceeded the content in the leaves and shoots of P. quinquefolia (524.88 mg/100 g) collected in Skvyra town.In the fruits of P. quinquefolia (1371.17mg/100 g) and P. tricuspidata (1332.20 mg/100 g) collected in Lisnyky village, the total mineral content was almost identical and somewhat lower than in the fruits of P. tricuspidata (1818.23 mg/100 g), and 2.2 times lower than in the fruits of P. quinquefolia (3097.57mg/100 g) collected in Skvyra town.The raw material of P. quinquefolia exhibited a slightly higher total content of mineral elements compared to P. tricuspidata.At the same time, P. tricuspidata was characterized by a higher sulfur content, particularly in the leaves and shoots, which may represent a species-specific feature of this raw material.Both species of Parthenocissus showed a similar elemental composition, with sulfur, potassium, and calcium prevailing regardless of the growing conditions.Neither species accumulated heavy metals (titanium, cobalt, zirconium) even in cases of significant soil concentrations, indicating the environmental safety of the raw materials.Conclusions.The results of the study of the mineral composition of P. quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata raw materials confirm the potential for further phytochemical and pharmacological studies of these raw materials to develop and implement phytomedicines with hypoglycemic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
