OCCURRENCE OF ANTIBACTERIAL COMPOUNDS OF DIFFERENT GROUPS IN PLANTS USED IN BACTERIAL DISEASES

Abstract

Abstract. The distribution of plant species containing at least one individual chemical compound with an experimentally established antibacterial effect in sets of plant species usedin traditional medicine in bacterial diseases is considered. Compounds are grouped. 9 groups of compounds (flavonoids, terpenoids, quinones, alkaloids, phenols, coumarins, lactones, iridoids, xanthones) and 37 diseases (pulmonary tuberculosis, dysentery, scrofula, pneumonia, tonsillitis, purulent wounds, abscesses, syphilis, nephritis, cystitis, laryngitis, whooping cough, gonorrhea, erysipelas, anthrax, leprosy, diphtheria, scarlet fever, pharyngitis, skin tuberculosis, sepsis, urethritis, gangrene, cholera, bone tuberculosis, typhus, pyelonephritis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis of the lymph nodes, pyelitis, lung abscess, meningitis, tetanus, brucellosis, plague, infectious-allergic polyarthritis, tuberculosis of the throat) were taken into account. To analyze the distribution, Student's mathematical-statistical test was used. It was noted that in the sets of plant species used for these diseases, in most cases, the occurrence of plant species containing antibacterial compounds from more than one of the groups under consideration was significantly increased.
