SUMMARY
The medicinal raw materials of many representatives of the Salicaceae family have long been widely used both in folk medicine and in modern pharmaceuticals. Currently, some species of willow are official medicinal raw materials in some European countries. In 2014, "Salicis cortex" acquired the status of official medicinal raw material and included in the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. In this regard, the study of biologically active compounds of different species, varieties and hybrid forms of willow is important, which will allow to expand the range of medicinal plant material both at the expense of local and at the expense of introduced species of willow, common in Ukraine.Conclusions. The qualitative composition and quantitative content of volatile compounds and phenolic substances in Salix purpurea f. Gracilis (Gren. & Godr.) C.K. Schneid shoots have been determined. The studies significantly expanded the data on the chemical composition of raw materials of plants of the genus Salix L. Data obtained from the study of Salix purpurea f. Gracilis (Gren. & Godr.) C.K. Schneid will be used for the planning of pharmacological research and development of QCM for raw materials and medicines
