The results of studying the metabolites of the roots and hairy roots of S. lateriflora using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry are presented. It has been established that the main share of polyphenolic metabolites in the roots and hairy roots are phenylethanoids and flavonoids containing up to two and up to four methoxyl groups, respectively. Among flavonoids, wogonin, 6-OMe wogonin, and their glycosides are most abundant in the roots of the plant. Phenylethanoids are represented by a series of hydroxytyrosol caffeoyl rutinosides, with a content parity with flavonoids. In addition to polyphenols, a significant content of sucrose was found in the root system.
