This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant activities and rosmarinic acid levels of the methanol extracts of plants of family Lamiaceae, growing in Republic Komi. Rosmarinic аcid in extracts of plants carried were obtained from method HPLC. The greatest maintenance rosmarinic аcid is revealed in elevated part Thymus serpyllum and Nepeta cataria. Аntioxidant activityy defined a colorimetric method, using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The greatest аntioxidant activity is shown in Mentha arvensis.
