Abstract

In the current study composition of phenolic compounds of common bilberry shoots (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) from the Russian Federation was determined. The presence of arbutin, rutin, tannin, and gallic acid in crude herbal drugs was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. A quantitative analysis of these substances in common bilberry shoots, harvested in the Bryansk and Vladimir regions in 2016-2017, and the Tver region in 2017 showed similar results. The obtained data can be used in the comparative study of the metabolome of medicinal plant, the development of regulatory documentation for common bilberry shoots. It is shown, that common bilberry shoots have antiradical, membrane stabilizing, antioxidant, and antitoxic activity.
