Novel Biologically Active Caffeic Acid-Derived Biopolymer from completely different Species of family Boraginaceae Family with Potential Therapeutic impact

Dr. Vakhtang Barbakadze

The family Boraginaceae family includes just about 2000 species worldwide, chiefly in Europe and Asia. The family includes a bunch of plants that area unit vital for medical specialty and cosmetology. The therapeutic impact of those plants is expounded to the content of the many biologically active compounds, as well as naphthaquinones, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols or purine by-product – allantoin. The constituents isolated from these plants exhibit antimicrobial, antitumor, antiviral, medicinal drug, cardiotonic, contraceptive and antiplatelet activity. However, these plants are made in toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids and therefore consumption therefrom is questionable; nonetheless, the utilization of family Boraginaceae plants as a poultice for wounds doesn't rise any objection
