A comparative analysis of the biologically active substances content in plant raw materials Verbascum phlomoides and Hypericum perforatum depending on their habitat within the Stryi district (anthropogenic, plain, foothill and mountain ecosystems) was conducted. The content of ascorbic acid, chlorophylls a and b, carotenoids in plant raw materials Verbascum phlomoides and Hypericum perforatum was determined spectrophotometrically. The highest content of ascorbic acid was found in the raw materials of Verbascum phlomoides and Hypericum perforatum in the plain ecosystem. The concentration and content of chlorophylls and carotenoids in the studied plant raw material were studied, their highest content in plant raw materials Verbascum phlomoides in the plain and mountain ecosystems, and in Hypericum perforatum – in the plain ecosystem was found. The research results show that the in the anthropogenically loaded habitat of plants leads to a decrease in the content of ascorbic acid and photosynthetic pigments in both studied plants. This indicates a significant anthropogenic impact on the environment. Comparative analysis shows that the most suitable ecosystems for harvesting wild medicinal raw materials Verbascum phlomoides and Hypericum perforatum are the plains of Stryj district.
