An analysis of published data describing the fairly extensive Lamiaceae family. The article reflects the diverse issues pharmacological activity of biologically active substances extracted from Lamiaceae plant family, as well as aspects of their application in the treatment of certain diseases. Phytochemical data of six Lamiaceae species cultivated in the Stavropol region are represented, they are Dracocephalum moldavica, Satureja hortensis, Lophantus anisatus, Salvia sclarea, Hissopus officinalis, Salvia officinalis. Describes the results of breeding work on studying the original breeding material and to develop new varieties of the species raw materials. The time of phenological phases onset has been examined in the plants under study. It was established that the content essential oil in various fractions of raw materials varies and most accumulation of its characteristic inflorescence of the studied objects: from 0,35% in inflorescences Salvia sclarea to 3,40% in inflorescences Lophantus anisatus. GLC studied the qualitative composition of essential oils, revealed the presence 34-39 compounds identified from 7 to 15 major components. Using the HPLC method studied the qualitative composition of phenolic compounds the studied species. Optimal conditions extraction, quantified the content of flavonoids and phenolic acids by spectrophotometric method. Finding iridoids was carried out using qualitative reactions, identification was carried out by TLC. The raw material standardization techniques of the volatile oil and flavonoids content have been developed.
