Background: Smoking tobacco is a serious global health problem that is associated with psychiatric disorders and increased mortality rates. Nicotine, the main compound consumed during smoking, causes damage to different organs, especially the brain. The current study assessed the modulatory impact of Teucrium polium extract (TPE) on nicotine-induced behavioral and biochemical, alterations in mice brains. Methods: Twenty-four mice were divided into four groups and treated for three weeks. Group one was control, group two was subcutaneously injected with 2.5 mg/kg nicotine, group three received 100 mg/kg TPE orally, and group four was given 2.5 mg/kg of nicotine subcutaneously after an hour of oral administration of 100 mg/kg TPE. Result: The HPLC results of the plant extract showed the presence of 11 bioactive compounds. Nicotine administration increased anxiety and decreased locomotor activity and forelimb grip strength. Dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholinesterase activity showed a significant decline in the nicotine-induced group. Treatment with TPE showed anxiolytic effects, modulated muscle strength and locomotor activity. Also, there was an increase in neurotransmitters compared with the nicotine group. In conclusion, TPE protected against nicotine-induced neurotoxicity through modulating behavior and neurotransmitter levels in mice.

“…Lamiaceae, the mint family, is also large, with nearly 7000 species distributed globally. Species of that family also have many uses, mostly based on their content of ethereal oils and their pigments, such as chlorophyll and carotene, which are used as colorants [92][93][94][95].…”

Growing concerns regarding health and eco-safety have led to a resurgence in the recognition of natural products. Although plant colorants are often mentioned in ethnobotanical studies in northern Thailand, they have not been comprehensively examined. This study aims to (i) investigate the colorant plants used by ethnic minorities in northern Thailand and (ii) compare colorant plants used among the groups in northern Thailand with other regions worldwide. Data on colorant plants used by ten ethnic groups across 142 villages in northern Thailand were extracted in a systematic review of 42 published references. The importance of the colorant plant species was evaluated using the ethnobotanical index “use value” (UV), and the homogeneity of knowledge was assessed using the “information consensus factor” (ICF). The similarity of colorant plants used among the ethnic minority groups and beyond was evaluated using Jaccard’s index. The 42 published references included information about 104 colorant plant species belonging to 85 genera and 43 families from seven provinces in northern Thailand. This represents nearly half of the 212 colorant plant species reported across all 72 provinces in Thailand. The most important species were Strobilanthes cusia and Morinda angustifolia, which are sources of blue and red colors. Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, and Lamiaceae were the plant families with most species used as colorants. The colorant plant species yielded ten different color shades, with blue being the most prevalent. The Jaccard’s index varied from 0 to 0.27 among the northern Thai ethnic minorities and from 0 to 0.13 for regions outside of northern Thailand. The regions located closest to northern Thailand exhibited the highest degree of similarity. This study provides valuable insights into the traditional knowledge and usage of dye plants in northern Thailand, contributing to preserving the cultural heritage and providing basic knowledge for the sustainable use of natural colorants for modern applications.

The current study aimed to determine the various in vivo biological activities of Moluccella laevis L. aerial parts. The antiinflammatory activity demonstrated after 2 h, for both the total ethanolic extract (TEE) and the petroleum ether (Pet. ether) fraction, exhibited the same percentage of inhibition (26.24%) as that of the indomethacin, whereas the following hour showed results quite higher than that of the positive control. Additionally, the TEE showed higher antipyretic activity compared to the used standard acetylsalicylic acid with a rapid onset (30 min) and a longer duration exhibiting the maximum activity. After 4 h from the beginning of the experiment, the Pet. ether, ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and aqueous fractions displayed nearly the same effect as that of acetylsalicylic acid, which lasted up to 5 h. Moreover, the aqueous fraction exhibited the maximum analgesic activity with a rapid onset and a longer duration followed by the Pet. ether fraction, TEE and the EtOAc fraction. These activities could be explained by the presence of the highest amount of phenolic and flavonoidal contents, which are found in both EtOAc fraction and TEE. Due to the pronounced results of M. laevis L. aerial parts, it can be considered as a success of natural products in further drug discovery.
