It is native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia and is commonly known as blessed thistle, holy thistle, St Benedict’s thistle or spotted thistle. Traditionally, it has been used to treat bubonic plague and possesses diuretic, galactagogue, liver-strengthening and wound healing properties. Recent research studies have investigated its anticancer, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and other therapeutic properties. Several studies have also reported its antimicrobial activity against a range of bacterial pathogens. However, most of these studies were preliminary and only tested relatively high concentrations of the extracts. Additionally, most studies screened a limited number of pathogens. Cnicin is the main chemical compound present in &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;and it has been widely investigated. However, few other compounds from this plant have been identified and/or investigated, and further phytochemical studies are warranted. Interestingly, pure cnicin has good anticancer activity, whilst the crude extracts lack cytotoxic properties. Phytochemical analyses of&lt;em&gt; C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;extracts reveal the presence of multiple flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids and lactones, although few specific phytochemicals within these phytochemical classes have been identified. A limited number of research studies have determined the toxicity profile of &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;in order to evaluate its safety for human use. Substantially more detailed studies are required to rigorously investigate the therapeutic properties and phytochemistry of &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta&lt;/em&gt;, which may ultimately lead to the development of new plant-based therapeutic medicines.&lt;/p&gt;

For this study, assays were carried out before and after precipitation of tannins by BSA and PVPP tests. Total phenol and condensed tannins of hydroethanolic extract and its fractions were performed by Folin Ciocalteu and hydrolysis methods. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and CUPRAC tests. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Tannins precipitation leads a light decrease of total phenol and condensed tannins contents of samples. Total phenol content of hydroethanolic extract was 51.2 mg GAE/g vs 3.2 after BSA test and 1.7 after PVPP test whereas condensed tannins content obtained 72.2% vs 4.2% and 2.3% after precipitation. Antiradical activity was lost following the elimination of tannins with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 5.33 ± 0.04 mg/l vs 78.86 ± 0.92 after BSA and &amp;gt; 500 after PVPP.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This results showed the condensed tannins would be in charge of antiradical and reducing activities of plant barks and PVPP precipitated much better the tannins from those extracts than BSA.&lt;/p&gt;

Stems, leaves and root are widely used in cooking in various dishes: soups, salads and side dishes. Celery fragrant has mild laxative, diuretic, antiseptic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, enveloping and wound healing properties. &lt;strong&gt;Aims:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of our research was the phytochemical study of celery root odorous, quantitative definition of flavonoid, carotenoid, polysaccharides, tannin, free organic acids, essential oils and lipid. &lt;strong&gt;Methods and Material:&lt;/strong&gt; The research material was dried and chopped celery fragrant root passing through a 3 mm sieve. We carried out quantitative determination of biologically active substances in the celery root odorous by the following methods: flavonoids (In terms of rutin) by the spectrophotometric method; carotenoids by the photocolorimetric method; essential oil, polysaccharides, lipophilic substances by the gravimetric method; free organic acids and tannins by the titrimetric method. &lt;strong&gt;Statistical analysis used:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of the studies are given in the table. Statistical data processing was performed according to the method “Statistical processing of the results of a chemical experiment and biological tests” presented in State Pharmacopoeia XI [1]. The sample size (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;is 6, the confidence level (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;) is 95%, the student criterion (&lt;em&gt;t&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;, f) is 2.57). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; For the first time, we carried out a quantitative assessment of the content of seven groups of biologically active compounds of celery root odorous, grown in the North Caucasus: essential oil - 2.04 ± 0.01%, flavonoids - 1.44 ± 0.01,% lipophilic substances - 4, 05 ± 0.01%, carotenoids - 3.03 ± 0.02%, free organic acids - 2.38 ± 0.02%, tannins - 8.06 ± 0.01%, water-soluble polysaccharides - 8, 33 ± 0.01%, pectin substances - 3.45 ± 0.01%, hemicellulose A - 1.54 ± 0.01%, hemicellulose B - 1.47 ± 0.01%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Celery root odorous grown in the North Caucasus is a source of biologically active compounds.&lt;/p&gt;
