Hippocastani semen is a significant raw meterial in pharmaceutical industry - escine, tannins, flavonoids, fatty oil, cumarines.

The analysed seed was collected from fifteen horse chestnut trees at five different localities. The quantity of the content of the analysed secondary metabolites varies between individual trees and between localities.
