Development of Cleaning Methods, Quality Control and Standardization, Comparative Study of Acute Toxicity and Specific Activity of Mumiyo

Abstract

Mumiyo is a natural resinous product, which is shapeless lumps with an uneven-cellular or smooth surface, hard or elastic consistency, with a characteristic balsamic smell. Mumiyo consists of organic and inorganic parts; in the inorganic part - the minerals calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and aluminum. In addition, about 23 more elements are present in the inorganic part: aluminum, lead, tungsten, magnesium, zinc, silicon, iron, manganese, tin, cadmium, chromium, sodium, copper, titanium, bismuth, nickel, molybdenum, calcium, potassium, cobalt, vanadium, phosphorus, mercury. The organic part of the mumiyo contains hippuric, benzoic, fatty, humic and amino acids, as well as steroids and vitamins, including vitamin D_3. Mumiyo dissolves well in water. The pH of a freshly prepared solution ranges from 6.7 to 7.0, and during long-term storage it increases to 7.5.

 Determination of the authenticity and good quality of the purified mummy was carried out by the data of infrared spectra and color reactions. A comparative study was made of the acute toxicity and wound-healing effects produced by PHARM ENGINEERING LLC “Mumiyo asil ACP” in comparison with the drug “Mumiyo asil” produced by JV REMEDY GROUP LLC. The results of pharmacological experiments showed that they are biologically equivalent to those with low toxicity in terms of acute toxicity, the drugs have a wound healing effect.
