Hence the conclusion that the raw material extracted from young plants has a milder effect and is less poisonous. Alkaloids. Chistotel contains about 20 alkaloids. These are nitrogen-containing substances of organic nature, distinguished by high physiological activity. It is important to understand that in small doses alkaloids have a therapeutic effect, and in large doses they are plant poisons. The action of alkaloids is diverse: chelidonine acts like morphine, having a calming and pain-relieving effect; homochelidonine has a pronounced analgesic effect; chelerythrine has a local irritant effect; sanguinarine activates the secretion of salivary glands and intestinal peristalsis; protopine reduces the excitability of the autonomic nervous system. Essential oilsoils. These are complex mixtures of nitrogen-free substances that are well soluble in fats and alcohol. Ethers of celandine have an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antispasmodic effect, relieving spasm of blood vessels and smooth muscle fibers of internal organs. Saponins are plant organic substances that form a persistent foam when mixed with water. They have a calming and diuretic effect. Amines (tyramine, histamine, etc.). They participate in the regulation of vital processes in the body, reduce blood pressure. Flavonoids are substances that are poorly soluble in water and have a yellow color. They have a pronounced antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of blood vessels and organs.
