Phytochemical Profile and Antimicrobial Potential of Propolis Samples from Kazakhstan.

In the current paper, we present the results of Kazakh propolis investigations. Due to limited data about propolis from this country, research was focused mainly on phytochemical analysis and evaluation of propolis antimicrobial activity. uHPLC-DAD (ultra-high-pressure-liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection, UV/VIS) and uHPLC-MS/MS (ultra-high-pressure-liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) were used to phytochemical characteristics while antimicrobial activity was evaluated in the serial dilution method (MIC, minimal inhibitory concentration, and MBC/MFC, minimal bactericidal/fungicidal concentration measurements).

Multidirectional Characterization of Phytochemical Profile and Health-Promoting Effects of Juz. Extracts.

species (Lamiaceae) have been used in traditional medicine as sedatives, antiseptics, carminatives, or expectorants. Despite their common applications in phytotherapy, there is still lack of evidence about the composition of their extracts and its impact on biological properties of the plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content of , a less studied species growing in Kazakhstan, using HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS instrumentation and to determine its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activity together with inhibitory properties against tyrosinase and toxicity in erythrocyte lysis assay.

Actual prospects of using some types of larch growing in Kazakhstan in medicine.

Local plants can save natural resources and be used as a source of biologically active compounds, which can be high-quality, effective, and safe ingredients for pharmacological or chemical industries. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the properties of two medicinal plants - the fine-scaled larch () and Siberian larch (), which are growing in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We compared the two types of larches according to botanical affiliation and species description.
