Pharmacological properties of endemic plants growing in the steppes of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The number of people who suffer from secondary immunodeficiency diseases is increasing. Secondary immunodeficiency diseases develop due to environmental degradation, abuse of various preservatives, stabilizers in foods and long-term storage products, abuse of the use of drugs with a cytostatic
effect, the use of antibiotics in the cultivation of cattle and poultry. The compoundswere obtained from
plants of the Halostachys caspica (Pall) C.A.Mey.ex Schrenk,Suaeda microphylla Pall., Climacoptera obtusifolia (Schrenk) Botsch.Plant extracts were investigatedon myelostimulating activity. The compound
obtained from plants of the Halostachys caspica (Pall) C.A.Mey.ex Schrenk by means of water-alcohol
extractionwithout heating showed high myelostimulating activity. It effectively stimulated erythro-,
thrombocyto- and leukopoiesis, and in stimulating the leukocyte population, it equally effectively increased the values of granulocyte and agranulocyte leukocytes. The compounds derived from the Suaeda
microphylla Pall. and Climacoptera obtusifolia (Schrenk) Botsch.showed low myelostimulating activity.
It should be noted that the water-alcohol extracts of plants without heating showed higher activity than
the extracts that have undergone thermal heating.
Key words: myelostimulating activity, endemic plants, steppes of Kazakhstan.
