The actuality of this topic is due to the search for little-studied properties of the root of the Paeonia lactiflora Pall. plant against the backdrop of today's pandemics. Aim of the work – to investigate the monoterpene glycosides of the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. and determine their properties.
Paeonia lactiflora contains more than 15 biological active substances, including monoterpene glycosides: paeoniflorin (0.5–5.8%), albiflorin, benzoyl-paeoniflorin, galloylpaeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, lactiflorin, paeoniflorigenone, oxybenzoyl-paeoniflorin; phenolic acids; phytosterol; triterpenoid.
