The biological potential of medicinal plant materials is most often assessed by the total (total) effect of active (extractive) substances. In aqueous extracts of fruits and shoots of Empetrum nigrum L., the content of extractive secretions was found to be 49,86±0,43 % and 31,48±0,47 %, respectively. Water-alcohol withdrawals with 40 % ethanol, the content of extractive inclusions, in products - 39,20±0,32 % and in shoots - 39,02±0,61 %. An increase in the concentration of ethanol during extraction up to 70 % consumption of extractive substances from fruits up to 31,11±0,60 %, however, that for shoots was increased to 45,63±0,59 %. Pentatriterpene saponins, oleanan derivatives - glycyrrhizic acid, ursans - ursolic acid were found in the raw materials of Empetrum nigrum L. The quantitative content of glycyrrhizic acid in the shoots is (2,88±0,09 %), in the fruits of Empetrum nigrum L (2,74±0,14 %). In fruits and shoots of plants, ursolic acid is also identified, its content in shoots is 0,7313 mg/g, in fruits 0,6424 mg/g. Raw material of Empetrum nigrum L., as a source of triterpene saponins and other biologically active, promisingly used in violation of carbohydrate metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism.
