“…The highest anticandidal activity was found in the methanolic extract from walnut leaves, followed by the alkaloid fraction, which had a slightly lower antifungal efficacy. Etyl acetate and hydrolyzed methanolic preparate had the lowest levels of growth rate inhibition for the examined fungal pathogens [ 101 ].…”

Juglans regia Linn. is a valuable medicinal plant that possesses the therapeutic potential to treat a wide range of diseases in humans. It has been known to have significant nutritional and curative properties since ancient times, and almost all parts of this plant have been utilized to cure numerous fungal and bacterial disorders. The separation and identification of the active ingredients in J. regia as well as the testing of those active compounds for pharmacological properties are currently of great interest. Recently, the naphthoquinones extracted from walnut have been observed to inhibit the enzymes essential for viral protein synthesis in the SARS-CoV-2. Anticancer characteristics have been observed in the synthetic triazole analogue derivatives of juglone, and the unique modifications in the parent derivative of juglone have paved the way for further synthetic research in this area. Though there are some research articles available on the pharmacological importance of J. regia, a comprehensive review article to summarize these findings is still required. The current review, therefore, abridges the most recent scientific findings about antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-fungal, and anticancer properties of various discovered and separated chemical compounds from different solvents and different parts of J. regia.

Me dici nal plants have pro vided a wide range of pharma co logi cally ac tive sub stances. Herbs have been used since ages, in hun dreds of pur poses in clud ing medi cine, nu tri tion, bev er ages, dye ing, fra grances, cos met ics, decorat ing ele ments, and in dus trial uses. Even to day, in our "chemi cal and syn thetic" world, plants or sub stances isolated from them, are pres ent in 40% of pe scrip tion drugs [17].One of the most fa mous me dici nal plants is Sal via officina lis L. (com mon sage), the mem ber of the Lami aceae fam ily. The posi tive bene fits of S. of ficina lis to health is known from time im me mo rial. A quote: 'Cur mo ria tur homo cui Sal via crescit in horto?'-'Why should a man die whilst sage grows in his gar den?' shows how this plant was im por tant [15]. Com mon sage has been used in the treat ment of vari ous dis or ders, such us tu ber cu lo sis, psoria sis, and seb or rhoeic ec zemas. It has shown strong an ti bac te rial and an ti fun gal ac tivi ties [5,37]. Sev eral experi men tal stud ies have also dem on strated the an ti oxi dant [9,21], an tivi ral [31], and anti-inflammatory [3] prop erties of S. of ficina lis L. Sage leaves have been used in an ti sep tic and as trin gent herbal mix tures, whereas es sential oil dis til lated from com mon sage can be help ful in aro mather apy (mas sage, bath, in ha la tion), and in bac te rial in fec tions, cough and bron chi tis [2,36]. It has also been used as medi ca tion against aches, wounds, in som nia, mea sles, rheu ma tism, con gealed blood, sea sick ness, vene real dis ease and worms [6]. The thera peu tic ef fects of S. of ficina lis L. are due to the pres ence of fla vonoids, phenolic com pounds such as car no sic, ros marinic, caf feic ac ids, and other phe nolic structure-based com pounds espe cially found in alcohol-soluble frac tions [33]. Sage leaves con tain up to 2.5% of vola tile oil in which the princi pal com po nent is thu jone, ac com pa nied by 1,8-cineole and other mono-and ses qui ter pe noids [28].S. of ficina lis L. is one of the most wide spread Sal via L. spe cies. Al though, be sides com mon sage, this ge nus is rep re sented by about 900 other Sla via L. spe cies [15]. Among them, 134 spe cies have been sci en tifi cally studied, and many these plants are char ac ter ized by in ter est ing bio logi cal ac tivi ties [37]. The dried root of S. mil tior rhiza Bunge is one of the most popu lar herbal tra di tional medicines in Asian coun tries, es pe cially in China; S. canari en sis L. is widely used in the popu lar medi cine of the Ca nary Ar chi pel ago, while a mix ture of leaves of S. fulgens Cav. and S. mi cro phylla Kunth. is a tra di tional Mexi can medi cine -called 'mirto' -for stom ach ail ments [37]. Here we want to re view some of the bio logi cal activi ties of Sal via L. spe cies, e.g. an ti cho lin es ter ase, neuropro tec tive, anti can cer, an tivi ral, anti-inflammatory, and an ti oxi dant, among oth ers. AB STRACTSalvia officinalis L. is one of the most widespread species, and because ...
