Abstract
Background: Illigera parviflora Dunn is a medicinal plant used by the Dao people in Sin Ho District, Lai Chau province in medicines to treat bone and joint diseases. This is a medicinal plant with great potential for exploitation, research and the establishment of basic standards for this medicinal herb is necessary. Objective: Description of microbiological characteristics and preliminary qualitative determination of the chemical composition of the stem of Illigera parviflora Dunn collected in Sin Ho district, Lai Chau province. Methods: Description of microbiological characteristics: To make microscopicspecimens of the stem, and powder specimens of the stem according to Appendix 12.18 of the Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia V, to describe and photograph the microscopic characteristics and microscopic characteristics of the stem powder; To preliminarily determine the chemical composition of the stem of Illigera parviflora Dunn by routine chemical reactions. Results: The study described the morphological characteristics, stem microanatomical characteristics, and powder microbiological characteristics of Illigera parviflora Dunn and preliminarily determined the chemical composition of the stem of this species containing triterpenoid saponins, tannins, reducing sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, alkaloids, and polyphenols. Conclusion: The research results have initially established some basic standards for the medicinal herb Illigera parviflora Dunn, thereby providing additional data for the inspection and detection of counterfeit and poor quality medicinal herbs.
