Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the biologically active components in the leaves of xerophytic species of Spiraea L. genus from Ukrainian flora, S. crenata L., S. hypericifolia L., S. litwinowii Dobrocz., among them the latter is endemic. Botanical characteristics of the studied meadowsweet species and the profiles of unhydrolyzed extractable substances obtained by HPLC with diode-array detection are presented. It has been shown that physiologically formed leaves of these plants, besides the typical substances – water-soluble organic and amino acids on the one hand, and chlorophylls, carotenoids and phospholipids on the other – contain the huge middle-polar pool of secondary metabolites of phenolic origin. Among them a number of groups were characterized, viz. cinnamic and hydroxycinnamic acids derivatives, catechins and proanthocyanidins, flavonol glycosides. The revealed differences in the composition of phenolic metabolites and their chemotaxonomic importance are discussed. The investigated species should be considered as plants, producing the considerable amount of biologically active phenolic compounds with urgent study of application.
