“…The overall FA profile obtained in the present work was in full agreement with those reported earlier for seed oils of Salvia species . On the other hand, there was a qualitative uniformity in the distribution of FAs among the examined Salvia species.…”

“…While ω ‐6 and ω ‐3 FAs are very important for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, Salvia seeds may be considered as potential sources of these special FAs. According to our results, the amounts of UFAs were high in Salvia seed oils and were comparable with those reported in Stachys , Vitis , Origanum , Echium , and other Salvia species . The presence of the two dietary essential FAs ALA and LA at high amounts in Salvia seed oils makes their nutritional and pharmaceutical values superior to many industrial oil seeds.…”

“…Fatty acids are among the pharmaceutically important metabolites in different species of Salvia and several studies have been reported on FA composition of their seed oils . Salvia genus has been characterized by the occurrence of palmitic acid (PA, 16:0), stearic acid (SA, 18:0), oleic acid (OA, 18:1 ω 9), LA, and ALA as the main seed oil constituents .…”

In this study, the seed oil content and fatty acid (FA) profile of 21 populations from 16 wild Salvia species of Iran were analyzed by GC. Patterns of chemical variations of the oils among species were identified via numerical analyses and also the taxonomic status of the infrageneric grouping was outlined in the genus. Salvia species were scored based on the contents of main FAs using principal coordinate analysis (PCO). The results showed that the total oil content in the seeds varied significantly, and ranged from 6.68 to 38.53% dry weight. α-Linolenic (18:3ω3, 1.69 - 53.56%), linoleic (18:2ω6, 13.04 - 60.64%), oleic (18:1ω9, 6.15 - 27.06%), palmitic (16:0, 3.77 - 9.27%), and stearic (18:0, 1.78 - 3.05%) acid were identified as five major FAs in the oils. The amount of ω-3 and ω-6 FAs ranged between 1.90 - 53.80% and 13.46 - 60.83% of total FAs in the seed oils, respectively. The results confirmed that FA profiles were distinctive among the species and that they can be used as chemotaxonomic markers. The discrimination of Salvia species according to their botanical classification at intersectional level was supported. In general, seed oils of Salvia species were rich sources of polyunsaturated FAs, except in linoleic and α-linolenic acid, and may be valuable for food and pharmaceutical industries.

“…Healthcare and culinary usage are now becoming increasingly prevalent as compared to synthetic pharmaceutical goods to safeguard the natural balance due to their bactericidal and fungicidal capabilities. Extraction by steam distillation or expression, for instance, is favored in certain circumstances [55][56][57][58][59][60]. Extraction with lipid-soluble solvents and, in some cases, supercritical carbon dioxide is preferred for fragrance applications.…”

Scutellaria (Lamiaceae), which contains over 350 species, usually known as skullcaps, is found throughout Europe, the United States, and East Asia. In traditional Chinese medicine, several species are used to wipe out heat-evil and remove surface ills (TCM). The current study examines the ethnopharmacology, biological activity, and chemical substances associated with Scutellaria species. More than 295 chemicals, including flavonoids and diterpenes, have been identified. Scutellaria and its active principles have been shown in studies to have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifeedant, phytotoxic, acaricidal toxicity, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antianalgesic activities. Currently, effective monomeric compounds or active components from Scutellaria have been evaluated for pharmacological action in vivo and in vitro. More data facilitates applications and exploitation of novel medication development.

“…Phytochemical screening of extracts from aerial parts of S. havanensis reported the presence of flavonoids, coumarins, triterpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, free amine groups, sugars, quinones, resins, and saponins [21]. In addition, twenty-five volatile compounds from the extract of aerial parts of S. havanensis were identified, β-caryophyllene (75.6%) being the most prominent compound [21]. Studies on Scutellaria extracts have shown its role in oxidative stress associated with several human pathogeneses [22][23][24].…”

Micropropagation of Rare Scutellaria havanensis Jacq. and Preliminary Studies on Antioxidant Capacity and Anti-Cancer Potential

We report the development of in vitro propagation protocols through an adventitious shoot induction pathway for a rare and medicinal Scutellaria havanensis. In vitro propagation studies using nodal explants showed MS medium supplemented with 10 µM 6-Benzylaminopurine induced the highest number of adventitious shoots in a time-dependent manner. A ten-day incubation was optimum for shoot bud induction as longer exposures resulted in hyperhydricity of the explants and shoots induced. We also report preliminary evidence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105-mediated gene transfer transiently expressing the green fluorescent protein in this species. Transformation studies exhibited amenability of various explant tissues, internode being the most receptive. As the plant has medicinal value, research was carried out to evaluate its potential antioxidant capacity and the efficacy of methanolic leaf extracts in curbing the viability of human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116. Comparative total polyphenol and flavonoid content measurement of fresh and air-dried leaf extract revealed that the fresh leaf extracts contain higher total polyphenol and flavonoid content. The HCT 116 cell viability was assessed by colorimetric assay using a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, showed a steady growth inhibition after 24 h of incubation. Scanning electron microscopy of leaf surface revealed a high density of glandular and non-glandular trichomes. This research provides a basis for the conservation of this rare plant and future phytochemical screening and clinical research.
