Scientific laboratories of technological pharmaceutical production of the International Scientific and Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan have received the limited patent of the State Service for Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Finance and Economy of Turkmenistan. The researchers have developed a one-percent ointment based on the essential oil of the Turkmen wormwood (Artemisia turcomanica) – an endemic medicinal plant, the healing properties of which are described in detail in the multi-volume work Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan of the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Doctor of Medicine Hero-Arkadag.
The authorship of the development belongs to a Doctor of Chemistry Durdymyrat Gadamov, a Candidate of Biology Allamyrat Akmyradov and a graduate student Berdi Berdiyev. The ointment obtained from the group of various compounds has unique properties, including high-quality absorption, duration of effect and stability. The originality of the development lies in the technology of extracting essential oil from raw materials (Turkmen wormwood), which is carried out in several stages. The proposed method also includes steam distillation, i.e. upon receipt of the substance under consideration, the process of separation of the components of the mixture using an overheated steam occurs. Thus, the healing base of the ointment is essential oil from Turkmen wormwood.
