Arid soils cover 34% of Kazakhstan. A multitude of halophytes grow on them. The chemistry of halophytes is of significant scientific and practical interest. Mainly salt-accumulating plants of the family Chenopodiaceae, which is represented in Kazakhstan by 47 genera and 218 species [1–3], exhibit halophilicity. These include plants of the genus Climacoptera, of which 14 species grow in Kazakhstan [4–7]. Herein we communicate results for the chemical composition of C. obtusifolia collected during flowering in Almaty Region. An analysis of the constituents detected flavonoids (1.4%), saponins (2.3%), amino acids (2.7%), phenolic acids (1.8%), carbohydrates (2.5%), and coumarins (0.1%). Biologically active compounds from this plant were studied by extracting ground raw material with EtOH (70%) in a raw material–extractant ratio of 1:6–8 for 3 d at room temperature. The aqueous EtOH extract was concentrated. The concentrate was worked up successively with CHCl 3 , EtOAc, and n-BuOH with subsequent condensing of each fraction. Column chromatography over silica gel of the CHCl 3 fraction isolated 1–4 upon elution by CHCl 3 –hexane (9:1 and 8:2). Biologically active compounds were isolated from the n-BuOH extract using absorption-distributive chromatography over a nanosorbent produced by carbonization of plant raw material (rice husks) at the Institute of Combustion Problems, Al-Farabi Kazakh Nat. Univ. [7]. The eluents were H 2 O and aqueous EtOH in various ratios. Thus, compound 5 was isolated pure from the n-BuOH fraction. The isolated compounds were identified based on physicochemical data and comparisons with the literature as stigmasterol (1), C 29 H 28 O, FAB-MS m/z 412 [7] and dehydrodiconiferylaldehyde (2), C 20 H 21 O 6 , EI-MS m/z [M] + 356, white amorphous compound, [] D 25 +20.0° (c 0.1, MeOH), mp 205°C (dec.), R f 0.5 (CHCl 3 –MeOH, 9.3:0.7).

An analysis of theconstituents detected phenolic and amino acids; flavonoids; saponins; mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides; steroids; and tracesof coumarins [6].Ground aerial part of air-dried plant (3 kg) was extracted (2 ) with aqueous MeOH (70%) at room temperaturefor 3 d. The combined extract was concentrated and extracted successively with CHCl

In the article results are reflected on establishment of quality of medical plants (Alhagi Kirgisorum Schrenk, Tamarix hispida, Climacoptera obtusifolia, Limonium gmelinii), to development of optimum charts of separation from them of complexes of bioactive compounds and their isolation on the sorbents of original production.

For the first time the qualitative and quantitative structure Black (Carum black) is defined and Zeravshansky caraway seeds (Bunium seravschanicum), method GLH in raw materials finds out 10 fat acids from which in enough are olein and Linol acids. The analysis of amino acids has specified that in considerable quantities contain: Gly, Asp, Arg, a proline and Ala, besides, are Paper chromatography defined fenoloacid.

In continuation of examination of plants of the Alhagi genus, we investigated the aerial part of Persian camel’s thorn (A. persarum) collected during flowering in western Kazakhstan District [1-3]. Two-dimensional paper chromatography of the aqueous acetone (1:1) extract with elution by butan-1-ol—acetic acid—water (40:12.5:29) and 15% acetic acid detected in the aerial part 12 flavonoids, 7 of which were isolated pure. Finely ground air-dried raw material was exhaustively extracted with aqueous acetone (1:1). The extract was concentrated, distilled, and purified of lipophilic substances. The total flavonoids were extracted with ethylacetate and separated over a polyamide column. The following flavonoids were isolated pure: Compound 1, C H O , mp 306-308°C, UV (λ , C H OH, nm): 375, 265.
