Thymus serpyllum L. (T.serpyllum) has a great interest as a potential plant component, which is used in the production of fermented milk products with anticancer effect. The plant material was collected at the flowering stage. Chemical composition of essential oil and flavonoids from the aerial parts of the T. serpyllum, grown in the Southern Altai of the East Kazakhstan region, has been investigated for the first time. Output of the essential oil received from the aerial part of the plant in the flowering stage was on average 0,2%. Forty-one compounds were identified in T. serpyllum essential oil, which accounts for 96, 1% of the total oil. The main components of the oil were thymol (41,8%), γ-terpinene (15,3%), o-cymene (10,9%). Apart from the composition of essential oils, there were shown some flavonoids, such asapigenin 7 glucoside (0.24 % of dried plant material), luteolin (0,039 %), quercetin (0,006 %), which demonstrated a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. In our experiments, luteolin had greater cytotoxic effect on cancer cells HCT-15 than quercetin. IC50 value of quercetin (100 μM) was higher than that of luteolin (50 μM).
