Daphne
is a genus of 70 to 95 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs in the 
Thymelaeaceae family.
 Daphne altaica 
is a rare endemic species to the north of Jungar 
Basin of Xinjiang, Chine, Altai, Manrak and Tarbagatai Mountains of Kazakhstan, and 
Altai region of Russia, as well as northwest Mongolia. 
D. altaica 
is an insufficiently 
explored rare endemic species from East Kazakhstan. 
D. altaica
is a medicinal herb 
used in traditional Kazakh medicine for the treatment of numerous diseases, including 
cancer of the digestive tract, tracheitis, common cold, sore throat, rheumatism and 
snakebite. The plant is known for its anticancer properties. The Kazakh added the peel 
of stem barks of 
D. altaica 
to lamb broth and drank it against cancer 
In this work, the quantative and quantative analysis of phytochemical constituens of 
medicinal plant 
Daphne altaica 
from Kazakhstan has been made for the first time. Total 
bioactive components of 
D. altaica
such as organic acids (0.24%), flavonoids (0.223%), 
coumarins (0.9848%) and together with moisture content (4.9%), total ash (4.27%), and 
extractives content (11.36%), were determined. Eleven macro-micro elements from the 
ash of the plant were identified, main contents of them were K (250.25mg/ml), Mg 
(78.565mg/ml), Ca (71.88mg/ml) by using the method of multi-element atomic 
emission spectral analysis. In addition, 20 amino acids and 8 fatty acids were studied 
from the plant. Glutamine (2360), asparatic acid (2360) and alanine (625) predominated 
among amino acids. Oleic (55.7) and linoleic (27.3) acids were contained in large 
amounts compared to other fatty acids.
