Phytochemical composition data of various parts of celery (Apium graveolens L.) and pharmacological activity thereof are analyzed herein. Flavonoids, organic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, ether oil terpenoids, tannins, vitamins and microelements are A. graveolens biologically active substances (BAS). Rich composition of BAS causes multiple both biological and pharmacological effects of herbal raw materials extracts mainly due to antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the extracts have neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, antihypertensive and antibacterial effects. A. graveolens possesses wide spectrum of pharmacological activities and is a nontoxic plant; A. graveolens-based medicines will have high margin of safety. The results obtained provide opportunities for making herbal pharmaceutical celery-based substances and introduction thereof into the academic medicine.

Abstract


Phytochemical composition data of various parts of celery (Apium graveolens L.) and pharmacological activity thereof are analyzed herein. Flavonoids, organic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, ether oil terpenoids, tannins, vitamins and microelements are A. graveolens biologically active substances (BAS). Rich composition of BAS causes multiple both biological and pharmacological effects of herbal raw materials extracts mainly due to antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the extracts have neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, antihypertensive and antibacterial effects. A. graveolens possesses wide spectrum of pharmacological activities and is a nontoxic plant; A. graveolens-based medicines will have high margin of safety. The results obtained provide opportunities for making herbal pharmaceutical celery-based substances and introduction thereof into the academic medicine.
