Conclusions
. Studies were conducted on the selection of the optimal extractant for extracts 
of lingonberry leaves, peppermint, currant - 70% C

OH. Using differential spectrophotometry 
in the studied plants, the quantitative content of the sum of flavonoids was established. Since the 
content of flavonoids in the studied plants falls within the range of 0.5-5%, the results obtained 
by us indicate the effectiveness and prospect of isolating flavonoids in an individual form from 
the leaves of lingonberry, peppermint, currant for their further use, as well as creating on the 
basis of these valuable substances of medicines.

Introduction.
The genus Ferula belongs to the celery family, unites 130 species distributed in 
Central Asia, Siberia, China (Xinjiang), Afghanistan, Iran and North Africa, 10 species 
in the Caucasus and 8 species in Azerbaijan. 
The chemical constituents from 
F. persica
include volatile compounds, sesquiterpene 
coumarins, sulfur-containing compounds, and sesquiterpene coumarin glycosides. 
Osthole, sitosterol, L-chimgin, L-chimganin were obtained from 
F. persica
growing in 
Azerbaijan. The roots of 
Ferula
species contain large amounts of sesquiterpene 
coumarin ethers 
F. persica
contains biologically active sesquiterpene coumarins 
including umbelliprenin, farnesiferols A and B. Umbelliprenin has shown anti-
inflammatory, apoptotic and anti-pigmentation properties. Farnesiferols A and B 
indicated reversal of multi-drug resistance and cytotoxic properties. Isolated 
sesquiterpene coumarins and polysulfides from 
F. persica
have cytotoxic, antibacterial, 
antifungal.
