Anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification of medicinal plants of the Central Botanical Garden collection

The article presents the structure of the international anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification (ATC), in which 140 species of medicinal plants used as raw materials for the manufacture of drugs are registered. Their largest amount is associated with drugs (MP) affecting the digestive tract and metabolism, as well as for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, skin, respiratory system. The collection of the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is presented, which contains 1227 plant samples, the pharmacotherapeutic potential of which generally corresponds to the potential of plants of the world flora registered in the ATC system. Taxonomic specificity (dependence on the family) of therapeutic actions of medicinal plants has been established, which makes it possible to more purposefully identify their biologically active substances.
