DOI: Bioorganic Evaluation Of The Chemical Structure And Biological Activity Of Phlomoides Labiosa
Nozima Holiqova , Doctoral Student, Namangan State University, UzbekistanAbstract
Phlomoides labiosa is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Central Asian ethnobotany, yet its bioorganic composition and functional properties remain insufficiently studied. This research provides a comprehensive bioorganic evaluation of the plant’s chemical constituents and their biological activities. Using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods (GC-MS, HPLC, UV-Vis, FT-IR), the major phytochemical groups–including flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenoids, sterols, and alkaloids – were isolated and structurally characterized. Quantitative analysis revealed high levels of phenolic and antioxidant compounds, suggesting strong radical-scavenging potential. Biological assays demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, and moderate anti-inflammatory activities, indicating a synergistic effect among the plant’s bioactive components. The results highlight Phlomoides labiosa as a promising natural source of biologically active molecules relevant to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and bioorganic chemistry applications. Further studies involving purification of individual compounds and mechanism-of-action analysis are recommended to support targeted drug development.
