Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ethnobotanical research on of Mongolian medicinal plants as as our further survey performed from 2010 to 2012, aimed at examining their effective utilization for developing therapeutic agents and/or health care application, was carried out. Research was performed in the Bayanhongor, Govi-Altay, Hovd, Hentiy, Dornod, Suhbaatar, Dornogovi, Bulgan, and Hovsgol provinces, and information for the application of the medicinal plants in Mongolia was obtained from Mongolian nomads, local doctors, pharmaceutical company producing herbal medicines. The plant materials for chemical studies were also collected. Chemical studies on some of the collected Mongolian medicinal plants were carried out and some results have been reported, while some are still underway. Some plant extracts were also evaluated for their inhibitory activity against the D- or L-MDM2-p53 interaction, and some potential plants were selected for further phytochemical study.
