Abstract:
Relevance of the problem. It is important to study the biological properties of
medicinal plants containing coumarins: anticoagulant, spasmolytic, capillary
strengthening, venotonic and antitumor effects[1,2,3,4,5,6].
The purpose of the study. Studying the methods of extracting coumarins from plant
materials.
Materials and research methods. The following solvents are commonly used to
separate coumarins from plant materials: ethyl and methyl alcohol. Using these
solvents, we separate aglycones and coumarin glycosides. It is advisable to use 40-
70% ethyl alcohol to obtain glycosylated coumarins. Aglycones can be fully
extracted using chloroform, diethyl ether, acetone, petroleum ether, and
hexan
