“…Its diuretic, antiseptic, digestive, antifungal, antianxiety, aphrodisiac, anti-estrus, emmenagogus, antispasmodic, aperitif, and analgesic effects have been applied in folk medicine. V. agnus-castus has also been employed to treat mastopathies, to inhibit dopamine D2 and opioid receptors, and to inhibit the synthesis of prolactin, among other uses (Zahid et al 2016). Moreover, this species is one of the most traditional and effective medicinal plants to be used in the relief of uterine cramps and in the regulation of menstruation (Gurmeet andChhabra 2011, Mari et al 2012).…”

Abnormal multiplication of oral bacteria causes dental caries and dental plaque. These diseases continue to be major public health concerns worldwide, mainly in developing countries. In this study, the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Vitex agnus-castus leaves (VAC‒EO) collected in the North of Brazil against a representative panel of cariogenic bacteria were investigated. The antimicrobial activity of VAC-EO was evaluated in terms of its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values by using the broth microdilution method in 96-well microplates. The chemical constituents of VAC-EO were identified by gas chromatography (GC‒FID) and gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS). VAC‒EO displayed some activity against all the investigated oral pathogens; MIC values ranged from 15.6 to 200 μg/mL. VAC-EO had promising activity against Streptococcus mutans (MIC= 15.6 μg/mL), Lactobacillus casei (MIC= 15.6 μg/mL), and Streptococcus mitis (MIC= 31.2 μg/mL). The compounds 1,8-cineole (23.8%), (E)-β-farnesene (14.6%), (E)-caryophyllene (12.5%), sabinene (11.4%), and α-terpinyl acetate (7.7%) were the major chemical constituents of VAC‒EO. VAC-EO displays antimicrobial activity against cariogenic bacteria. The efficacy of VAC-EO against S. mutans is noteworthy and should be further investigated.

“…The chemical composition of Vitex agnus-castus L. includes many different chemical compounds, among which are: vitexilactone, rolundifuran, ketosteroids, diterpenoids (vitexlactam, vitexilactone, viteagnusin I, and rotundifuran), flavonoids (orientin, kaempferol, penduletin, luteolin, artemetin, vitexin, and casticin), and iridoids (agnuside, agnusoside, agnucastosid A/B, and aucubin) [35][36][37]. The identification and quantification of agnuside ( Figure 2), together with p-hydroxy benzoic acid, can be achieved by high-performance liquid chromatography HPLC) [38].…”

Medicinal plants are used worldwide due to their lower risk of side effects and eco-friendly, cost-effective production when compared to chemical drugs, encouraging researchers to further exploit the therapeutic potential of the former. One of the most popular medicinal plants is Vitex agnus-castus L., grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions, to which different health benefits have already been attributed. In this perspective article, the in vitro and in vivo therapeutic properties of V. agnus-castus L. have been analyzed and reviewed with a special focus on its health-promoting effects and potential nutraceutical applications.

The article presents the features of introduction, morphological characteristics and methods of reproduction of Vitex agnus-castus L., depending on the soil and climatic conditions of the Absheron Peninsula of the Azerbaijan. It is determined the dynamics of growth and development, the degree of germination of seeds, the formation of vegetative organs. It was revealed that during the reproduction of the species by cuttings in comparison with seeds, the development proceeds more efficiently. V. aqnus-castus L. grows mainly in moderately humid, subtropical and tropical conditions and in Absheron conditions of the Azerbaijan is subject to a dry subtropical climate, which extends the adaptation process of this species. However, the proper agro-technical care for the plant in the open field contributed to the normal growth and development. V. aqnus-castus L. is propagated by seeds (possibly by autumn and spring sowing) or by green cuttings. Germination of fresh seeds is good, but stored for more than for 2 months need three-month stratification in wet sand by 5°C. The shoots are friendly and saplings.
