Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern literary data on the pharmacological properties of flavonoids and extracts of biotechnological plant raw materials with a high content of polyphenolic compounds, as well as the prospects of their use in the treatment of age-related diseases. One of the key problems that arise in the treatment of geriatric patients is polypragmasy, that is, the simultaneous use of several drugs, which increases the risk of side effects and reduces the effectiveness of treatment. Several major biomarkers of premature aging, such as oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, are reviewed. The value of aging biomarkers such as telomere shortening, macromolecular damage, and DNA double-strand breaks, which can be targeted for new therapeutic strategies, is shown. An evaluation of the possibilities of using the latest pharmaceutical compositions based on plants of the genera Artemisia, Bidens, and Cichorium, common in Ukraine, containing a wide range of bioactive substances, including flavonoids, was conducted. The latter show significant potential in the fight against aging mechanisms, in particular due to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic properties, etc. Particular attention is paid to the geroprotective role of flavonoids in the regulation of molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, which are directly related to the aging process. The prospects of using biotechnological methods for adjusting the quantitative content of bioactive compounds in plant extracts to improve their pharmacological effectiveness are highlighted. The review serves as a basis for increasing the number of studies in the direction of the development of geriatric pharmaceutical compositions that will be able to solve the problems of polypragmasy and polymorbidity.
