Eleutherococcus

Eleutherococcus is also a drug obtained from a plant belonging to the Araliacee family, the "Eleutherococcus senticosus, very similar to ginseng. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, also called Siberian ginseng, because it is grown at high latitudes.

Eleutherococcus is a drug characterized by rhizome and roots, and has an extremely diversified phytocomplex; for this reason, it is not possible to identify a particular category of compounds to which the adaptogenic and tonic properties are ascribed, contrary to what we have done with Ginkgo or ginseng. The phytocomplex of eleutherococcus is characterized both by saponins, but also by coumarins, terpenes, flavonoids, lactonic compounds and heteropolysaccharide compounds; the secondary metabolites are all glycosylated, in fact they are generically called eleutherosides.

Of the "eleutherococcus it is important to underline that, while presenting saponins, and being as such associated with ginseng, it is actually characterized by an extremely diversified set of active ingredients, and it is difficult to associate a functionality with a unique chemical class, because all of them are present in the drug in an equivalent way and all give functional expression, both in vivo and in vitro, of its adaptogenic property.

The virtues of this drug are therefore linked to eleutherosides, ie the complex of glycosides characterized by a diversified aglycone.

With adaptogenic drugs and drugs characterized by flavonoid compounds we have concluded what is the set of active principles that characterize the biogenetic pathway of scichimic acid.
