PURPOSE There are several reports about effects of Salvia spp. on CNS. The present experiment is undertaken to study effect of S. limbata, S. hypoleuca and S. macrosiphon on withdrawal syndrome in mice. METHODS Antinociceptive activities of aerial parts of Salvia spp. is investigated using hot plate method. In addition, the effect of its aerial parts on morphine dependence is investigated in ...

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 ...

methanolic extracts of five native species of salvia from the labiatae family were evaluated for antioxidant activity in low-erucic acid rapeseed oil using the schaal oven test at 60°c, with deterioration monitored by determination of peroxide value, conjugated diene content and p-anisidine value. the activity of the salvia extracts was compared with that of tbhq, ascorbyl palmitate, and extrac...

Salvia is one of the famous genera of the family Lamiacea previously called Labiatae comprising about 800 species throughout the world [1]. Most of the members of this genus are known due to their biologically active chemical constituents specifically reported for anti-tumor activity [2]. A number of Salvia species are used in folk medicines. For example, S. cavaleriei is used for the treatment...

Plant roots may be linked by shared or common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) that constitute pathways for the transfer of resources among plants. The potential for water transfer by such networks was examined by manipulating CMNs independently of plant roots in order to isolate the role(s) of ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) networks in the plant water balance during dr...

background: the seeds of some medicinal plants and their compounds have long been valued for their numerous health benefits. objective:to investigate some physical and chemical properties of salvia spp. methods: some physico-chemical properties in five species of salvia seeds (consisted of s. officinalis l., s. macrosiphon l., s. hypoleuca l., s. sclarea l. and s. nemorosa l.) were measured at ...
