It is widely used in medicine for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Therefore, it is important to research the chemical composition of these species. In the article, based on our research, the analysis of the quantitative calculation of flavonoids and amino acids of the fruits of the “Elegant” and “Svetlyachok” cherry varieties was carried out. It was found that the amount of amino acids in the fruits of Cornus mas L., introduced in Uzbekistan, is higher in the variety “Svetlyachok” 2.643235 mg/g. In “Elegant” variety it was 1.794235 mg/g. The amount of 4 different flavonoids in the fruit was also determined. It has been established that the Elegant variety has a high concentration of lutein and rutin, and the svetlyachok has a high concentration of apigenin and quercetin.展开更多

The influences of the solvent sort, the pH value, the concentrations of Cu2+ and chiral ligand on the partition coefficient(K) and separation factor(α) were discussed. The experimental results show that the A formed has more stable ternary complex with D-mandelic acid enantiomer than with L-mandelic acid enantiomer. There is an important influence of the pH value on K and α. When the pH values are less than 3.5, the formation of binary complexes is thermodynamically unfavourable. K and α become maximum when pH values are above 3.5 and the molar ratio of the chiral ligand to Cu2+ is 2∶1.展开更多

The crystal of the title chiral complex (C8H8O3 C9H11NO2, Mr = 317.33) belongs to monoclinic, space group C2 with a = 19.391(3), b = 5.715(4), c = 15.755(3) ? b = 115.23(1), V = 1579(1) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.335 g/cm3, F(000) = 672, m = 0.099 mm-1, R = 0.033 and wR = 0.060 for 1278 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)). The complex consists of (R)-mandelic acid and (R)-phenylalanine in 1:1 molar ratio, and the complex molecules form layered crystal structure by self-assembly through intermolecular H-bonding between carboxyl and carboxylate of the neighboring molecules.展开更多
