Review of the Essential Oil Composition of Iranian Lamiaceae⁺

Evaluation the ethno‐pharmacological studies in Iran during 2004–2016: A systematic review

“…(Labiatae Juss.). This family in Iran has 47 genera; and 371 species, sub‐species, and varieties (Hassanzadeh, Emami, Asili, & Tayarani Najaran, ). Some genera like Eremostachys , Lagochilus , Nepeta , Phlomis , and Salvia have a great diversity in the Mediterranean region and Asia (Ghorbani, Naghibi, & Mosaddegh, ; Naghibi, Mosaddegh, Mohammadi Motamed, & Ghorbani, ).…”

Cytotoxic and apoptogenic properties of three isolated diterpenoids from Salvia chorassanica through bioassay-guided fractionation

“…Several species of Salvia are known to possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties that have made Salvia a popular plant in medicine since ancient time (Badisa et al, 2005;Cowan, 1992;Gali-Muhtasib et al, 2000). Salvia is a rich source of phytochemicals including flavonoids, sesquiterpenoides, diterpenoides, sesterterpenes and triterpenes (Hassanzadeh et al (2011); Lu and Foo, 2002); the diterpenes are structurally the most diversified secondary metabolites isolated from Salvia species. Several active components such as tanshinones, D(+)3,4-dihydroxyphenol lactic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, salvianolic acids (A-F) and rosmarinic acid (Li, 1997;Wang et al, 2010) have been isolated and identified so far.…”

Identification of Volatile Oil Components ofNepeta binaludensisJamzad by GC-MS and13C-NMR Methods and Evaluation of its Antimicrobial Activity

“…On the other hand the amount of 1,8-cineol as the major compound was very high and similar in all of mentioned reports and our work. This compound could be consider as a popular compound in the genus of Nepeta because it was reported as a major compound in approxi-mately 32 different species of Nepeta among 47 species that were analyzed for essential oils components in Iran 8 . Nepetalactones are other major compounds could be finding in the genous of Nepeta in Iran alongside of 1,8-cineol 8 .…”

Nepetalactones are other major compounds could be finding in the genous of Nepeta in Iran alongside of 1,8-cineol 8 . The antimicrobial properties of the oil are suspected to be associated with the high 1,8-cineol content, which has been previously reported to have a significant antimicrobial activity and we could find it in the present work 16,17 .…”

“…To the best of ISSN Print: 0972-060X ISSN Online: 0976-5026 our knowledge 2 studies has been done on the volatile constituents of this species 7,9 but no study has been done on its pharmacological and antibacterial activities. Recently, a review article has published that covers all the reports about essential oil composition of Iranian Lamiaceae including some studies on the other species of this plant growing in other parts of Iran 8 . …”
