76 ethanolic extracts of medicinal herbs from the Jordanian flora, belonging to 67 species and 34 families, were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on a breast cancer cell line (MCF7). The cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium and incubated with the extracts for 72 hours. Sulphorhodamine B (SRB) assay was used to test cytotoxicity. From the tested crude extracts, Inula graveolens,...

      In the present study, an oxidative conversion of non-fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (LDCF) to fluorescent dichlorofluoroscein (DCF) was used for detection of antioxidant properties of plant extracts. The rate of the reaction was followed by monitoring the formation of DCF as a function of time. The antioxidant assay was carried out for different concentrations of gallic acid, Salvia ...

the plants of the genus salvia synthesize several types of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and radical scavenging activities and are used in the folk medicine of different countries. eleven salvia species including s. aegyptiaca, s. aethiopis, s. atropatana, s. eremophila, s. hypoleuca, s. limbata, s. nemorosa, s. santolinifolia, s. sclarea, s. syriaca, and s. xanthocheila ...

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) using a laboratory-made system are applied for the extraction of thermally labile components such as tanshinone I and IIA in Salvia miltiorrhiza. PLE and PHWE are carried out dynamically at a flow of 1 mL/min, temperature between 95-140 degrees C, applied pressure of 10-20 bars, and extraction times of 20 and 40 min...

Salvia genus, which is generally called Maryam-Goli in the Persian language, belongs to Lamiaceae family and comprises 58 species in Iran. Four flavonoids plus a steroid compound were isolated from the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the aerial parts of Salvia macrosiphon Boiss, using different chromatographic methods on the silica gel and sephadex LH20. The structures of the isolated co...

صخلملا The search for novel anticancer drugs continues. This work includes a preliminary study of the effect of two crude extracts of Greek or Mediterranean sage (Salvia triloba L. f.) on three malignant human cell lines and one malignant murine cell line. A boiling water extract and a methanolic extract were prepared from dried leaves of S. triloba. Yields of extraction were 9.8 and 22.4%, res...
