In the metabolism of plants and humans, alkaloids occupy an important place, being
products of amino acid metabolism. Alkaloids are one of the first compounds of plant
origin that drew the attention of pharmacologists to create medicinal preparations based
on them. A significant amount of alkaloids - up to 4-5% by weight of air-dry raw
materials contains rhizomes with roots that
differ little from plants
Aconitum
septentrionaleae
and
Aconitum loucostomum
. These plants are widely distributed all
over the world; there are significant areas
of growth in North America, Europe and
Asia. There are large reserves of wild-growing raw materials on the territory of the
Russian Federation and China.
Based on the alkaloids of these plants, new highly
effective medicines with
antiarrhythmic effects of Allapinin and Axaritmin have been created and introduced into
medical practice. Based on the alkaloids of these plants, the experimental production of
the ICPS AS RUz annually produces about one tonne of the substance Allapinin and
Axaritmin, having processed 300-400 tonnes of plant raw materials.
The purpose of this work is to study the protein substances of these plants, as well as
in industrial waste such as liquid water waste and solid waste (meal) for possible
disposal.
Determination of protein substances in these samples was carried out by colorimetric
method using Nessler reagent. Because of the conducted
studies of the content of
protein substances in the roots and rhizomes of
Aconitum septentrionaleae
and
Aconitum loucostomum
plants, the value of 10-11% protein
from the air-dry mass of
raw materials was obtained. After processing of vegetable raw materials, the protein
content is kept in the processing waste (liquid and solid).
IR spectra of the protein were taken on a Perkin-Elmer 2000 IR Fourier
spectrophotometer in tablets with KBr. IR (KBr, v

In order to determine the quality of the isolated protein in the roots of
Aconitum
septentrionaleae
, their amino acid composition was analyzed.
It has been established that proteins contain the entire set of essential amino acids. It
should also be noted that proteins are dominated by amino acids such as lysine,
phenylalanine, valine, alanine, histidine and glutamine.
