Medicinal marigold - Calendula officinalis L.

Aster family - Asteraceae

Other names:

- calendula

- full crocos

Botanical characteristics. An annual herbaceous plant 50-70 cm high, branched stems. The leaves are alternate, sessile or short-petioled, oblong, up to 13 cm long. Inflorescences are in the form of baskets with a diameter of 5-6 cm. The flowers are false-ligulate and tubular, golden-orange. Fruits develop only from ligulate flowers in the form of dry achenes of different shapes and sizes in the same inflorescence. It blooms from June until frost, the fruits begin to ripen in July.

Spreading. The homeland of marigolds is the Mediterranean and Central Europe. Cultivated everywhere. The plant is light-loving. It is advisable to select moist soils. Fertilizers and fertilizing promote longer flowering. Manure, superphosphate, ammonium nitrate, and potassium salt are used. Propagated by seeds. Sow in early spring, plant to a depth of 2-3 cm with row spacing of 60 cm. After germination, the soil must be fluffed up, and weeds are systematically destroyed. The yield of dry inflorescences is about 18 c/ha. Garden forms of marigolds have been developed.

Habitat. The plant is undemanding to soil; it mainly grows in open and damp places.

Harvesting, primary processing and drying. Marigolds bloom for a long time (up to 3 months), so flowers are collected many times - from the beginning of flowering until frost.

When hand-picked, flower baskets are picked without a peduncle or with a peduncle up to 3 cm long every 3-4 days during the first flowering period and after 4-6 days thereafter. There are 15-18 training camps per season. Timely and regular removal of inflorescences from plants promotes the setting of new buds and ensures high yields - up to 12-18 c/ha. The collected raw materials are cleaned of leaves, pieces of stems, and faded heads.

Mechanized harvesting is carried out using chamomile stripping machines. In this case, the number of raw material collections is significantly reduced, since shoots with buds are cut off along with the baskets. During post-harvest processing, admixtures of leaves, stems, and peduncles are removed from the raw materials of mechanized harvesting so that the content of these parts of the plant in the raw material does not exceed 25%.

Dry marigold flowers in dryers at a temperature of 50-60 (70) ° C, less often in air dryers or well-ventilated areas, spread on fabric or paper in a layer in one inflorescence. Dried raw materials must retain their natural color.

Standardization. The quality of raw materials is regulated by the requirements of the State Fund XI, VFS 42-1738-87 and Amendments No. 2 of May 20, 1997.

External signs.Hand-picked raw materials It is a whole or partially crumbled basket with a diameter of up to 5 cm, without peduncles or with remnants of peduncles no more than 3 cm long. The involucre is single- and double-row, gray-green, made of linear pointed densely pubescent leaves. The receptacle is slightly convex, bare. The marginal flowers are false-ligulate, 15-28 mm long, 3-5 mm wide with a curved short pubescent tube, with a three-toothed limb twice the size of the involucre and 4-5 veins, arranged in 2-3 rows in non-double forms and in 10-15 rows in double forms . Pistil with a curved lower unilocular ovary, a thin style and a two-lobed stigma. The middle flowers are tubular with a five-toothed corolla. The color of the marginal flowers is reddish-orange, orange or yellow, the middle flowers are orange, yellowish-brown or yellow. The smell is weak, the taste is salty-bitter (see fig., B).

Raw materials for mechanized harvesting differs significantly in external characteristics from hand-picked raw materials. It is a mixture of whole or partially crumbled inflorescences, individual tubular and reed flowers, less often buds and baskets with seeds of varying degrees of maturity, individual achenes, as well as pieces of stems and leaves.

Powder. A mixture of particles passing through a sieve according to TU 23.2.2068-89 with holes with a diameter of 2 mm. The color is greenish-orange or greenish-yellow. The smell is weak. The taste is salty-bitter.

Microscopy. When examining reed flowers from the surface, elongated epidermal cells with orange round chromoplasts are visible. The denticles have epidermis with papillae, sometimes with stomata. The corolla tube is densely pubescent with simple and glandular one- or two-row hairs; the ovary is also pubescent: on the convex side with glandular hairs, on the edges of the concave side - with simple two-row hairs. The head of glandular hairs consists of 2, 4 or 6 cells. The epidermis of tubular flowers is the same as that of reed flowers, but in denticles it has more elongated papillae. The lower part of the corolla tube and the ovary are densely pubescent with one or two rows of glandular hairs, less often with two rows of simple hairs. In certain areas of the epidermis, folding of the cuticle is visible (Fig.). The pollen is round and spiny.

The epidermis of the involucre leaves along the edge is represented by elongated cells with straight walls, and in the middle part - sinuous cells with stomata. There is dense pubescence: along the edge with simple one-two-row, two-row glandular and branched hairs; in the middle part - only glandular hairs.

For microscopy powder use particles obtained by sifting an analytical sample through a sieve with holes 0.5 mm in size. The specimen shows fragments of the above diagnostic signs of all parts of the basket.

Numerical indicators.Hand picked flowers. Extractive substances extracted with 70% alcohol are at least 35%; moisture no more than 14%; total ash no more than 11%; remnants of peduncles, including those separated from the baskets during analysis, no more than 6%; baskets with completely fallen off reed and tubular flowers (receptacle with involucres) no more than 20%; browned baskets no more than 3%; other parts of the plant (pieces of stems and leaves) no more than 3%; organic impurities - no more than 0.5%, mineral - no more than 0.5%.

Flowers of mechanized harvesting. The norms for the content of extractive substances, moisture, total ash and browned baskets are set the same as for hand-harvested raw materials; other parts of the plant (leaves, stems, peduncles, including those separated during analysis) no more than 25%; fruit baskets and individual fruits no more than 10%; organic impurities - no more than 3%, mineral - no more than 1%.

Powder. The standards for the content of extractive substances, moisture, and total ash are the same; additionally, particles passing through a sieve according to TU 23.2.2068-89 with holes with a diameter of 2 mm, no more than 10%.

Chemical composition. Flower heads contain carotenoids and flavonoids (carotene, lycopene, violaxanthin, citraxanthin, rubixanthin, flavoxanthin, flavochrome). Calendula inflorescences also contain polysaccharides, polyphenols, resins (about 3.4%), mucus (2.5%), nitrogen-containing mucus (1.5%), organic acids (malic, ascorbic and traces of salicylic acid).

In the above-ground parts of the plant, up to 10% of the bitter substance calenden, which is unsaturated in nature, was found. The smell of flowers and their phytoncidal properties are due to the presence of essential oil. The above-ground organs of the plant contain triterpene saponin, which upon hydrolysis produces oleanolic and glucuronic acids. The presence of triterpeneols arnidiol and faradiol has been established.

The seeds contain fatty oil, represented by glycerides mainly of lauric and palmitic acids. Alkaloids were found in the seeds. Inulin and a number of triterpene glycosides, which are derivatives of oleanolic acid, were found in the roots.

Storage. In a dry, dark place, packed in plywood boxes or bales. Shelf life up to 1 year.

Pharmacological properties. The pharmacological activity of calendula preparations is due to carotenoids and flavonoids. When applied topically, calendula preparations have an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect in experimental models of microbial and aseptic inflammation. The antiviral activity of calendula preparations when applied topically has been established (suppresses the activity of the herpes virus, the alcohol tincture is effective against influenza virus type A, strain PR-8 and type A-2, Frunze strain).

Calendula preparations accelerate tissue regeneration processes, accelerate growth and improve the quality of granulations, promote faster epithelization and the formation of a more delicate scar. When used internally, calendula preparations also exhibit their anti-inflammatory activity, promote the regeneration of the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines, and the healing of ulcers and erosions. The mechanism of the protective effect of calendula preparations in experimental gastric ulcers consists of reducing the aggressiveness of gastric juice and increasing the resistance of the gastric mucosa. Calenduloside B from the roots also delays the development of experimental gastric ulcers. Galenic forms of calendula flowers have an antispasmodic effect, mainly on the stomach and intestines, relieve spasm of the biliary sphincters, increase the secretory activity of the liver and the flow of bile into the duodenum.

Medicines. Infusion, tincture, liquid extract, briquettes, Calendula ointment, anti-ulcer drug Caleflon (purified extract).

Application. Calendula tincture is used for gingivitis, pyorrhea, thrush in children, cracked lips, inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, and sore throats. Calendula is used in the form of rinsing with a 2% solution every 1.5-2 hours. The same rinses are prescribed for periodontal disease. The tincture is used for cuts, purulent wounds, and burns.

Calendula infusions are used internally for peptic ulcers, erosive gastritis, colitis, enterocolitis, and are used as a choleretic agent. For proctitis and paraproctitis, it is used in the form of therapeutic enemas.

Calendula tincture (Tinctura Calendulae) is prepared from the marginal flowers of calendula or from flower baskets in 70% alcohol. The ratio of plant raw materials to extractor is 1:10. The tincture is prescribed orally, 20-30 drops per dose 2-3 times a day. To gargle, dilute 1 teaspoon of tincture in a glass of water.
