“…Three band pairs were found as critical for separation: 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6. For two phenylethanoids, 1 and 2, the best results were achieved using acetonitrile as an organic modifi er, and these fi ndings are in agreement with earlier reports (Kırmızıbekmez et al, 2005;Han et al, 2007;Vrchovská et al, 2007). However, for the other two band pairs, the use of acetonitrile containing phases resulted in poorer separation; 3 and 4 co-eluted, while the resolution factor R s of peaks 5 and 6 was only 0.50.…”

“…Tamarixetin is known as a quercetin metabolite that induces vascular smooth muscle relaxation with a potency higher than that of the parent compound (Perez-Vizcaino et al, 2002). Luteolin (9), apigenin (10) and their glycosides are potent antioxidant, anti-infl ammatory, anti-allergic and antiviral agents (Cushnie and Lamb, 2005;Seelinger et al, 2008), whereas phenylethanoid glycosides, verbascoside (2) and forsythoside B (1), exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, antiproliferative and neuroprotective activities (Sheng et al, 2002;Rigano et al, 2007;Vrchovská et al, 2007).…”

“…Black horehound also contains diterpenes, such as marubiin, as well as caffeic and ferulic acid derivatives (Gruenwald et al, 1998). Potent antioxidant activity has reported in infusions of the aerial parts (Citoglu et al, 2004;Vrchovska et al, 2007). We prepared several types of extractions of the different parts of the plant, and found that an aqueous extraction of the aerial parts, similar to that prepared in the folk medical tradition, was the most effective at inhibiting both biofilm growth and adherence.…”

One-third of botanical remedies from southern Italy are used to treat skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of SSTI, has generated increasing concern due to drug resistance. Many plants possess antimicrobial agents and provide effective remedies for SSTI. Our aim was to investigate plants from different ethnobotanical usage groups for inhibition of growth and biofilms in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).Three groups were assessed: plant remedies for SSTI, plant remedies not involving the skin, and plants with no ethnomedical application. We screened 168 extracts, representing 104 botanical species, for activity against MRSA (ATCC 33593). We employed broth dilution methods to determine the MIC after 18 hours growth using an optical density (OD 600nm ) reading. Anti-biofilm effects were assessed by growing biofilms for 40 hours, then fixing and staining with crystal violet. After washing, 10% Tween 80 was added and OD 570nm readings were taken.Extracts from 10 plants exhibited an IC 50 ≤32 μg/ml for biofilm inhibition: Lonicera alpigena, Castanea sativa, Juglans regia, Ballota nigra, Rosmarinus officinalis, Leopoldia comosa, Malva sylvestris, Cyclamen hederifolium, Rosa canina, and Rubus ulmifolius. Limited bacteriostatic activity was evident. The anti-biofilm activity of medicinal plants was significantly greater than plants without any ethnomedical applications.

The essential oils isolated from fresh aerial parts of Ballota macedonica (two populations) and Ballota nigra ssp. foetida were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Eighty five components were identified in total; 60 components in B. macedonica oil (population from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), 34 components in B. macedonica oil (population from the Republic of Serbia), and 33 components in the oil of B. nigra ssp. foetida accounting for 93.9%, 98.4%, and 95.8% of the total oils, respectively. The most abundant components in B. macedonica oils were carotol (13.7 - 52.1%), germacrene D (8.6 - 24.6%), and (E)-caryophyllene (6.5 - 16.5%), while B. nigra ssp. foetida oil was dominated by (E)-phytol (56.9%), germacrene D (10.0%), and (E)-caryophyllene (4.7%). Multivariate statistical analyses (agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis) were used to compare and discuss relationships among Ballota species examined so far based on their volatile profiles. The chemical compositions of B. macedonica essential oils are reported for the first time.
