13 Physicochemical properties
Free phenolics and their glycosides are crystals of white and yellow colour with a fixed melting point, soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, water solution of alkali and sodium acetate and insoluble in ether or chlorophorm. All glycosides possess optical rotation. They can hydrolyse while heated with mineral acids.

14 Extraction. Most phenolic acid derivatives accumulated in the plant matrix are stored in vacuoles and are commonly extracted with alcoholic or organic solvents. The common solvents for extractions are hot water, ethanol, acetone, diethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol (or aqueous methanol), the latter being the most common. The following liquid-solid extraction methods may be used: Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonification (USAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). Hydrolysis of the esters and glycosides to a free phenolic acid has been a strategy employed to simplify the analysis. There are two main procedures to cleave the ester and glycoside bond: acidic hydrolysis (for glycosides), and alkaline hydrolysis (for esters). A third, less prevalent technique is cleavage through the use of enzymes (esterases or glucosidases).

15 IDENTIFICATION Phenolic compounds react with diazonium salts, iron alum (ferric ammonium sulphate), ferric (III) chloride, lead (II) acetate (sediment). An azo coupling is an organic reaction between a diazonium compound and a phenol or other aromatic compound, which produces an azo compound. The product will absorb longer wavelengths of light than the reactants because of increased conjugation. Aromatic azo compounds tend to be brightly coloured (red, orange) due to the extended conjugated systems; many are used as dyes.

16 Quantitative analysis
Phenolic acids are substances, which absorb in the UV region and their detection on thin layers containing a fluorescent indicator is relatively easy. TLC is widely used for qualitative analysis of phenolics. The advantage of separation on thin layer is possibility of additional detection after treatment by various reagents. The simple way of detection is treatment the plates with ammonia vapour. Phenolic compounds should be observed in the UV light at λ=254 or 366 nm. Quantitative analysis Titration can be used for quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds. The most common types of titrations used are acid-base titration (alkalimetry) and red-ox titrations (iodometry, bromatometry). For example, the State Pharmacopoeia of the USSR of the XI edition suggested using iodometry for qualitative analysis of arbutin in bearberry leaves.

17 Biological Action and Application
The British Pharmaopoeia 2009 and Europe Ph. suggest using liquid chromatography for quantative analysis of arbutin. TLC combined with densitometry is often used for quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds in different parts of plants and herbs. Biological Action and Application Stress conditions such as excessive UV light, wounding, or infection induce biosynthesis of phenolic compounds. Thus, environmental factors may have a significant contribution to the content of phenolic acids in plants. Most of them have shown an excellent scavenging activity of active oxygens. The antioxidant activity of phenolic acids and their ethers depends on the number of hydroxyl groups. Recent investigations have linked a series of phenolic acids (ferulic, caffeic, ellagic, tannic, protocatechuic, chlorogenic, rosmarinic acids, and curcumin) with the anticancer activity. Some of phenolic acids (caffeic, gentisic, rosmarinic, ferulic, salicylic acids, curcumin) have

18 anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic properties
anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic properties. Caffeic acid is known as a selective blocker of the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, components involved in inflammatory and immunoregulation diseases, asthma, and allergic reactions. In recent years, more and more clinical studies were focused on phenolic acids as a group of potential immunostimulating compounds. Possibly, systemic application of caffeic, gallic, or salicylic acid could result in suppression of leukocytes accumulation in extravascular sites, that may be beneficial in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Chlorogenic, ellagic, gallic, caffeic, protocatechuic, and salicylic acids have significant stimulatory influence on the production IgG antibodies. Phenolic acids are currently being investigated for their potential antiviral therapy (rosmarinic, caffeic, ferulic acids). There are other biological activities of phenolic acids: astringent (rosmarinic acid), sedative on the central nervous system (rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid), choleretic and cholekinetic (most of phenolic acids), hepatoprotective, analgetic, antipyretic, and keratolytic (salicylic acid).
