Representatives of the genus Scutellaria are widely used in pharmacology due to their high content of flavones—secondary metabolites with pronounced biological activity. Although the pharmacological effects of flavones and the metabolic characteristics of S. baicalensis and S. lateriflora have been studied in considerable detail, other species of skullcap remain much less investigated. This report presents the first results of a study on the polyphenolic composition of hairy root cultures of the rare species Scutellaria przewalskii Juz. The work revealed that the dominant polyphenolic compounds in the root culture of S. przewalskii are verbascoside, as well as glucuronides of wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-dimethoxyflavone) and 5-hydroxy-6,7,8,2′-tetramethoxyflavone.
