Eight anthracene derivatives (chrysophanol, physcion, emodin, aloe-emodin, them, barbaloin, sennoside A and sennoside B) were signified in six species of Rumex L genus: R. acetosa L., R. acetosella L., R. confertus Willd., R. crispits L., R. hydrolapathum Huds. and R. obtusifolius L. For the investigations methanolic extracts were prepared from the roots, leaves and fruits of these species. Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography was applied for separation, identification and quantitative determination of anthracene derivatives. The identity of these compounds was further confirmed with UV-VIS. Received data were compared. The roots are the best organs for the accumulation of anthraquinones. The total amount of the detected compounds was the largest in the roots of R. confetus (163.42 mg/g), smaller in roots R. crispus (25.22 mg/g) and the smallest in roots of R. hydrolapathum (1.02 mg/g).
