The phenolic compounds and mineral composition were studied in underground organs of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. This plant is widely used in folk medicine. No data about concentrations of macro and microelements in spurge euphorbia have been available. There is partial information concerning some organic compounds. Therefore, it was necessary to supplement its composition with experimental data. For this purpose, nine compounds of phenolic structure were identified in the roots by high-performance liquid chromatography: phenolic acids (caffeic, gallic, chicory, neochlorogenic and ferulic), coumarin, flavonoids (rutin, quercetin and catechin). Caffeic and gallic acids are predominating among phenolic acids, while rutin predominates in flavonoids. The contents of elements were determined by X-ray fluorescence, namely: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Ba and Pb. The significant contents of vital elements, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc were revealed. The contents of most microelements are low. These studies are of interest for creating new herbal drugs of polyvalent action.
