The qualitative and quantitative compositions of several biologically active compounds (BACs) in various organs from plants of the family Plantaginaceae, including pharmacopoeial P. major, were studied. The compositions of extracted compounds were identical qualitatively but differed quantitatively depending on the plant species and organ. The plants were placed in the following order with respect to total content of BACs: P. uliginosa > P. major > P. salsa > P. cornuti > P. stepposa > P. lanceolata > P. media. The results indicated that these plants could be used as additional sources of BACs.
