Abstract

Sosnovsky's hogweed (Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden.) has been considered one of the most common phytoinfestations in Russia for many years. Hogweed isn’t suitable for feeding to farm animals, and also causes contact phytophotodermatitis. Nevertheless, hogweed also has number of positive properties: analgesic, anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects. In addition, the chemical composition of hogweed is quite complex and interesting for research. In connection with the foregoing, as well as the need to solve the problem of curbing the spread and disposal of Sosnovsky's hogweed, it seems relevant to develop methods for obtaining biologically active raw materials from it for subsequent use in various fields. The article presents data on obtaining the aqueous hogweed extract using cavitation, analysis of its composition, as well as the effect on sanitary indicative microorganisms: Escherichia coli (strain 1257), Staphylococcus aureus (strain 209-P) and Bacillus cereus (strain 96). It was found that the aqueous extract is stable during storage at a temperature of 4±2 °C for 9 months. Analysis of the extract by chromatography-mass spectrometry showed the presence of various compounds, most of which were 2-hydroxy-propionic (55.32%) and succinic (23.27%) acids. Using spectrophotometry, 5- and 8-methoxypsoralens were detected in it at 58.1±1.3 µg/ml concentration. The conducting of microbiological test demonstrated the absence of inhibitory effect of the extract on E. coli, S. aureus and B. cereus, including when the pH was changed to 1.5 and 0.5. However, its stimulating effect on these microorganisms was noted, which can be explained by the organic acids content. The results obtained in the study of the effect of extract on E. coli and S. aureus allow us to make the assumption about the possible growth stimulation of similar resistance groups. It can be potential hazard if microorganisms contaminate damaged skin epithelium and mucous membranes. The positive effect of the extract on the soil bacterium B. cereus may also be responsible for the indirect stimulation of agricultural plants growth. However, these assumptions require further research.
