Environmental problems in Ukraine, as well as all over the world, have initiated a new search for alternative methods of treatment, including phytotherapy. Real effectiveness and high safety level are making phytotherapy an essential means for a prolonged treatment of chronic diseases. It is an urgent problem to conduct a phytochemical research of species of the genus of Valeriana L., which were obtained from biologically active substances and introduced into practice as an additional sources of medicinal plant raw material[1-8].

The aim of the work is to research the phenolic compounds in the raw materials of different species of the genus of valerian.

Materials and methods of research. Samples of leaves, roots, inflorescences of Valeriana collina Wallr were harvested in Zakarpatska area, Mukachevsk district, v. Synyak. Samples of roots of V. grosshemii Worosch were obtained from the research area of the village of Tomakivka, Dnipropetrovsk region. The aerial part and roots of V. stolonifera Czern were taken from Zaporozhye area, beam Kantserivska. Samples of roots and inflorescences of V. exaltata Mikan were received rom c. Zaporizhzhya from the Right Bank district of the Dniper river.

There was performed anextraction ofbiologically active substances from the researched raw material. 0,5 g of minced raw material (for mono materials) were placed into a conical flask of 100 ml, equipped with refluxcondenser. 25 ml of mixture of the following composition: 96% ethyl alcohol: water: 25% hydrochloric acid (25: 20: 5) was added there.The flask was boiled for 90 minutes in a water heater. The samples were cooled to room temperature (200C) and after that the extract was filtrated to a volumetric flask with the capacity of 25 ml.

The chromatographic study of the researched samples was performed on liquid chromatograph equipped with diode array detector Shimadzu HPLC-system, ser.20.

The study was done under following conditions: the column Phenomenex Luna C18 (2) measured  250 mm x 4,6 mm. Theparticle size was 5 micron. The temperature of the column was 350C. The detection wavelength composed 330 nm.The mobile phase flow rate made 1 ml per minute. The volume of introduced sample was - 5 mcL.

Eluent A was 0.1% solution of trifluoroacetic acid in water.

Eluent B was 0.1% solution of trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile.

The identity of the components was performed by retention time matching of UV- spectra to the range of standard substances spectra.

The following conditions were used in the study without hydrolysis.

Extraction ofbiologically active substances in the researched raw material was performed.  0,5 g (the exact sample) of minced raw materialwas introduced into a conical flask of 100 ml, equipped with reflux condenser.25 ml of 50% ethyl alcohol was added there. The flask was boiled for 45 minutes in a water heater. After that the extractwas cooled to room temperature was filtrated through the filter of "red tape" to a volumetric flask with the capacity of 25 ml.The extractwasbroughtup to the volume of 25 mlby50% ethyl alcohol. The chromatographic study of the researched samples was performed on liquid chromatograph equipped with diode array detector Shimadzu HPLC-system, ser.20.

The study was done under following conditions: the column Phenomenex Luna C18 (2) measured 250 mm x 4,6 mm. The particle size was 5 micron. The temperature of the column was 350C.

The data presented in Table 2 demonstrated the content of phenolic acids in the raw material. The inflorescences of Valeriana collina Wallr counted 0,5106% and 0,1997% of chlorogenic acid, 0,00302% and 0,05078% of caffeic acid. In the leaves of Valeriana collina Wallr were founded0,669% and 0,2271% of chlorogenic acid, 0,00189% and 0,0635% of caffeic acid. The roots contained 0,0699% and 0,042% of chlorogenic acid, 0,01705% and 0,0296% of caffeic acid. In the rootsof V. grosshemii Worosch were accounted0,2411% and 0,0965% of chlorogenic acid, 0,050% and 0,0609% of caffeic acid. 0,8546% and 0,306% of chlorogenic acid, 0,00377%  and 0,0701% of caffeic acid were revealed in the aerial part of V. stolonifera Czern. 0,1534% and 0,0545% of chlorogenic acid, 0,005 and 0,0272 of caffeic acid were identified in the roots of V. stolonifera Czern. In inflorescences of V. exaltata Mikan were detected 0,6959% and 0,2203% of chlorogenic acid, 0,0092 and 0,0718 of caffeic acid. Caffeic acid composed  0,0611%  and 0,0653% in the roots of V. exaltata Mikan.

Conclusions.The following main conclusions can be drawn from the results obtained in the present studies. The highest content of flavonoids is found in inflorescences of Valeriana collina Wallr, namely, 0,294% of  rutin, 0,1222% of quercetin and 0,129% of apigenin. The leaves of Valeriana collina Wallr contain a large number of quercetin about 0,123%. The greatestamount of chlorogenic acid is traced in the aerial part of V. stolonifera Czern and composes 0,8546%. Somewhat smaller content is in leaves (0,669%) and inflorescences (0,5106%)  of Valeriana collina Wallr, and in inflorescences (0,6959%)V. exaltata Mikan. The largest quantity of coffee acids is identified in the roots (0,0611%) of V. exaltata Mikan and in the roots (0,050%) V. grosshemii Worosch.

The aerial and belowground parts of different species of valerianwereanalyzed. The results of the study proved that flavonoids, especially rutin, was found in the aerial part of the plantin greater amounts.Among the studied phenolic acids the biggest amount of chlorogenic acid is contained in the belowground samples.
