Abstract

The aim of the work. Analysis and synthesis of data on the distribution, content of biologically active compounds and the spectrum of use in pharmacy and medicine of tall  buttercup (Ranunculus acris L.).

Materials and Methods. Analysis of sources of scientific information on the distribution, chemical composition, pharmacological activity and possible use of tall  buttercup (Ranunculus acris L.).

Results and Discussion. Tall buttercup (Ranunculus acris L.) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Ranunculaceae family, which is common in Ukraine in the wild nature. The plant is unofficial. It is widely used in folk medicine of different countries as antibacterial, antiviral, antitoxic, epithelializing and anti-tuberculosis medicine. The main biologically active substances of this plant are alkaloids (0.1%), tannins (over 2%), γ-lactones (ranunculin, anemonin, protoanemonin), saponins, flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin), tannins and cardiac glycosides.

Conclusions. Given the significant experience of using Ranunculus acris in folk medicine and data from experimental studies of the content of biologically active substances and a fairly wide range of pharmacological activity, its aboveground organs can be considered as a promising raw material for research in pharmacy for production and production phytopreparations.
