The article presents Data on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and the total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for aboveground organs of three species from the Caragana Genus – C. bungei, C. pygmaea и C. spinosa, growing in the Mountain Altai. It was determined that leaves and reproductive organs contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, pectin substances. It is shown that biologically active substances of a plant are synthesized differently depending on the species, habitat and organ of the plant. The highest level of flavonols (36.4 мг/г), tannins (117.2 мг/г) and carotenoids (0.56 мг/г) was registered in leaves of C. spinosa. Catechins predominantly accumulated in the leaves of C. pygmaea (up to 211.3 mg/100g) and inflorescences of C. bungei (up to 205 mg/g). The content of pectin substances was quite high, with the biggest share of protopectins. The highest level of protopectins was registered in inflorescences of C. bungei (5.81%) and leaves of C. pygmaea (3.58%). Pectins are synthesized more in the flowers of C. bungei (0.74%) and leaves of C. spinosa (0.49%). The highest values of antioxidant activity were found in the water–ethanol extracts from the leaves of C. spinosa (1.61 mg/g), which is probably due to the increased content of flavonols and tannins. It was shown that the antioxidant activity of Caragana plants is 71% determined by the content of tannins, 62% by the content of flavonols and 41% by the content of carotenoids. C. spinosa is more promising for finding sources of antioxidants.
