cataract is clouding of the eye lens that reduces the amount of incoming light and results in deteriorating vision. blindness is thought to reach 75 million by 2020. of these, unoperated cataract may be expected to account for at least 35 million. thus, the burden of cataract is increasing remorselessly. embelica officinalis is reported to have a very good antioxidant property and thus we hypot...

Salvia columbariae extracts were examined for the presence of salvianolic acids by HPLC-MS and NMR. A new salvianolic acid, β-sitosterol lithospermic acid, was found.

Abstract The study was aimed at analyzing chemical composition, and biological antibiofilm activity of Salvia officinalis L. essential oil (EO) with MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper. main compounds S. EO were a-thujone 24.6%, camphor 20.6%, 1,8-cineole 12.1%, a-humulene 5.8%. Free radical scavenging medium high. highest antimicrobial observed against Bacillus subtilis . Changes in the biofilm structure co...

In this study, decoctions (herbal tea) of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) and lemon balm (Melissa L), two the important medicinal plants, were analysed for antioxidant activity, antioxidants, minerals (K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Ba, Ag Ga) determined in each dry leaves as well by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The activities evaluated scavenging against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydraz...

Treatments for bovine mastitis based on antibiotic therapy are not always effective which may lead to faults in recovery of diseased animals, selection of resistant bacteria and the presence of antimicrobial residues in milk. In this context the use of essential oils configures as an alternative to control mastitis pathogens in dairy cows because they have antibacterial action against gram-posi...

In this paper, comparison of the volatile components composition in the samples obtained by hydrodistillation and solid-phase microextraction of Salvia officinalis was described. Different sample preparation techniques showed considerable differences in volatiles composition, especially with respect to sesqui- and diterpenoids. The comparison of the sage essential oil obtained by hydrodistillat...

To assess antioxidative protection by carnosic acid (CA) in combination with that of other low-molecular weight (M(r)) antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol [alpha-T] and ascorbate [Asc]) in chloroplasts, we measured endogenous concentrations of these antioxidants, their redox states, and other indicators of oxidative stress in chloroplasts of three Labiatae species, differing in their CA contents, ex...

Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) is a Mediterranean species, naturalized in many countries. In Jordan, it is used in traditional medicine as antiseptic, antiscabies, antisyphilitic, and anti-inflammatory, being frequently used against skin diseases. This study aimed the assessment of the antifungal and anti-inflammatory potential of its essential oils, and their cytotoxicity on macrophages and...
