Pectorales species No. 2 is a mixture of several types of crushed medicinal plant raw materials, and is sold on the Russian pharmaceutical market as an expectorant and anti-inflammatory agent. The species includes coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) leaves and greater/broadleaf plantain (Plantago major) leaves and licorice (Glycyrrhiza) roots. Polysaccharides are a main group of substances in the species. To improve the standardization of raw materials, it is necessary to have information about the monomeric composition of polysaccharide complexes in the species. The paper reviews the studies of the monosaccharide composition and the content of polysaccharides in individual components of the species. Based on the generalized data, the monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharide complex in Pectorales species No. 2 has been theoretically formed and the possible content of monosaccharides was tentatively calculated.
