Abstract. In this study, we choose Medicago falcata L., also known as “alfalfa” or
“Lucerne”, it belongs to the family Fabaceae. M. falcata L. is a perennial flowering
plant. M. falcata L. produce different kinds of secondary metabolites such as
saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, phenols which have antimicrobial and
antibacterial properties which play medicinally vital role. The chemical constituents
obtained from plant can cure high cholesterol, kidney problems, asthma,
stomach, bladder problems and menopause issues. The aim of the study is to obtain
the flavonoid-saponin complex of M. falcata L., which is common in the
Azerbaijani flora, and to examine its antioxidant activity. The isolated flavonoidsaponin
fraction when analyzed by A.B.T.S. and D.P.P.H. showed high activity.
The technical effect of the claimed invention consists in expanding the raw material
base of medicinal plants, namely the base of crescent alfalfa (M. falcata L.)
and the sum of the flavonoid-saponin complex of biologically active substances
with antioxidant activity isolated from it.
