Central Asian University: Research on Plant-Based Compounds Demonstrates Increased Pharmacological Efficiency

A new scientific study by Ulugbek Togaev, Professor at the Engineering School of Central Asian University, has been published, focusing on the development of molecular complexes based on plant-derived compounds.

The study, titled “Preparation and Biological Activity of Molecular Complexes Based on Secondary Metabolites of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Sophora japonica L.”, examines the interaction of secondary metabolites from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) and Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica L.), and their potential in enhancing pharmacological formulations.

As part of the research, a new type of molecular complex combining active components from both plants was developed. The results indicate that this combination demonstrates higher biological activity compared to the individual compounds.

According to the findings, the new complex improves effectiveness in vascular protection while reducing the required dosage of active ingredients. This suggests potential for developing more efficient pharmaceutical formulations with optimized concentrations.

The study contributes to applied pharmacology and highlights the potential of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering and biomedicine.
