Artemisia commutate Bess : Results of research on the above ground parts of the plant

Abstract

Background: Historically raw materials with plant and animal origin have been used for the treatment of various diseases. Nowadays, in developed and developing countries, plant raw materials are widely used in traditional treatment, nursing, and food supplements, and are used as raw materials in pharmaceuticals industry, comprising a significant part of the global pharmaceutical market. Therefore, research works to explain the mechanism of actions are being carried out intensively through determining the chemical composition and mineral content of the plant raw material. Aim: (Artemisia commutate bess) chemical composition, macro and micro elements and amino acid determination. Materials and methods: Artemisia commutate bess was collected and prepared from Huvut shar Khoshun, Shili River Province, and was dried and crushed at Institute of Mongolia medicine chemistry, Inner Mongolia university, Inner Mongolia Key Laboratory Medicine Chemistry. The sample was further crushed into fine particles with diameter size of 0.075 mm. Results: (Artemisia commutate bess) plant raw materials, the general chemical composition of the tissue was determined by traditional chemical analysis methods, and it is important to determine the therapeutic value and safety of the plant. Conclusions: 1. XRF analysis method was used to determine the content of 6 elements in the upper part of Artemisia commutate bess plants. Out of essential macro and micro elements for human body, such as Ca, K, Mn, Fe, Na, and Zn, it was resulted that the following elements were found: iron 75.2 mg/kg, calcium 46.4 mg/kg, manganese 35.2 mg/kg, sodium 18.4 mg/kg, zinc with the highest concentration. 17.3 mg/kg, potassium 14.6 mg/kg. 2. Out of various amino acids involved in protein synthesis, glutamic acid 1.36 mg, aspartic acid 1.08 mg, and proline 1.60 mg were identified.
