Introduction:  Plants are a rich source of phenolic compounds that as natural antioxidants prevent oxidative stress and are very good for health. Ziziphora clinopodioides belongs to Lamiaceae family and its aerial parts are used in pharmaceutical and food industries. It is effective in the treatment of heart disorders, cold, depression, diarrhea, coughing, migraine and...

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is an important medicinal herb belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. In this study, the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Nepeta cataria, and its essential oil composition were investigated. The essential oil, which has 4aalpha,7alpha,7abeta-nepetalactone (70.4%), 4aalpha,7alpha,7abeta-nepetalactone (6.0%)...

The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Marrubium deserti de Noé. (Lamiaceae), growing in the North fringe of the Algerian Sahara, was analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-eight compounds were identified, representing 99.70% of the total oils. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of tetracosane, germacrene D, Δ-cadinene, α-cadinol and t-cadinol as the main constituents, representing 31.11%...

Salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family. Its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. Therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. The aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of Salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

The essential oil (EO) obtained by hydrodistillation from Teucrium polium L. was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antioxidant activity was evaluated through DPPH assay and Beta-carotene/linoleic acid assay. Twenty one components were identified representing (90.4%) of the EO. Main constituents of the essential oil were found as Spathulenol (15.06%...
