The search for new raw materials sources of biologically active substances and the expansion of the range of medicines based on representatives of the domestic flora determine the priority directions for the development of modern pharmacy. A study was carried out, the purpose of which was to determine the amount of tannins in the plant material Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Scutellaria galericulata L. Additionally, during the work, the moisture index was determined, reflecting the quality of the studied plant material. It was found that among the objects of study, the plant raw materials of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi contain the largest amount of tannins in the underground part (10.28 ± 0.51), which provide a spectrum of astringent activity in inflammatory diseases. A comparison of the amount of tannins of representatives of the Scutellaria genus and official raw materials of oak bark is given, which makes it possible to determine the prospects for further study of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Scutellaria galericulata L. in order to expand the raw material base of herbal preparations.

Key words: Vegetable raw materials, biologically active substances, tannins, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Scutellaria galericulata L., Lamiaceae.
