CONTENT OF IRIDOIDS IN ELEVATED PART OF <i>TEUCRIUM POLIUM </i>(LAMIACEAE)
Qualitative reactions (with Stahl reagent, Bacon-Edelman reagent) and thin-layer chromatography established the presence of iridoids in the elevated part of Teucrium polium L. Two iridoids were identified: harpagide and harpagide acetate. Quantification of iridoids in the elevated part of T. polium was determined by spectrophotometry using the reaction with hydroxylamine in an alcoholic extraction. The content of iridoids in the elevated part of T. polium in terms of harpagide acetate was 0.51 %.
