The authors propose to consider alien invasive species
as new bioresources. These plants form powerful
(usually single-species) thickets in the secondary range
and their size are larger than at the native cenosis. The
territory occupied by invasive species, especially in
disturbed habitats, is quite high, so their possible yield
is very high. The main problem of using alien species
in the pharmacological purposes is the lack of
information about the dynamics of the chemicals
accumulation. Available data on the biochemistry in its
natural habitat is inadaptable for the same taxon in the
secondary range because of significant
microevolutionary changes. In this work we present
the results of phytochemical screening four legume
species, formed invasive populations in the Middle
Russia - Galega orientalis Lam., Lupinus polyphyllus
Lindl., Robinia pseudoacacia L. & Caragana
arborescens Lam. Information about these species as
traditional medicine plants is given. Original data on
the concentration phenolic compounds and biophile
silicon in leaves and inflorescences are presented.
Information on the fractional composition of the
flavonoid complex is done. Taking into consideration
the high adaptability of invasive species, the chemical
analysis of the samples from different ecotypes was
made. It is shown that accumulation of bioactive
agents & biophile silicon isn’t depended on the
environmental conditions. Concentrations of
polyphenolic compounds were at the average level in
comparison with medicinal plants. Thus, the
combination of flavonoid complex with biophile
silicon provides pharmacological significance of
studied species, and justifies the needing the further study of invasive plant species in order to create new
herbal medicines
