Specific and most representative group of biologically active substances of peat are humic acid (HA) and bitumen, which is a complex mixture of high molecular weight and polyfunctional alicyclic compounds, hydroaromatic, aromatic and heterocyclic nature. Preparations from HA and bitumen are used in medicine and veterinary medicine. However, the spectrum of peat BAS is quite wide and heterogeneous in individual peatlands and depends of peat formation of the swamp, the depth of peat deposit, botanical composition and other factors. The identification of the highest quality raw material base for the production of specific drugs requires the study of the organic composition of peat, including HA and bitumen on all swamp depth. The article substantiates the need to identify the highest quality raw material base (peat deposit or combinations peat deposits) for the production of specific products. On the example of the peat deposit Gazoprovodnoe, presents the results of the analysis of HA and bitumens throughout the profile of the peat deposit and establishes the possibility of using peat resources of this peat deposit in the production of a wide range of drugs for medical purposes and household chemicals.
