“…The Sharma and Bhadange (2013) study showed that basil (ocimum gratissimum L. and ocimum kilimandscharicum Baker ex Gürke) and Pogostemon benghalensis Kuntze possess antimicrobial activity against bacterial (e. coli, S. aureus, S. typhimurium) and fungal (C. albicans and a. niger) strains. Lemon balm, mint, basil, Brazilian boldo (Plectranthus barbatus Andrews), and rosemary were the subject of the Araújo et al (2014) study and they have shown antibacterial activity to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains (e. faecalis, S. aureus, S. mutans, e. coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa (Naguib et al 2012); antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant (Formisano et al 2011) leaves 25 ocimum americanum L.…”

Carović-Stanko K., Petek M., Grdiša M., Pintar J., Bedeković D., Herak Ćustić M., Satovic Z. (2016) Historically, species of the family Lamiaceae have enjoyed a rich tradition of use for flavouring, food preservation, and medicinal purposes, due to both their curative and their preventive properties. It is well known that each species has a special, complex mixture of bioactive compounds in which each component contributes to its overall bioactivity. Their value lays in the production of a wide range of secondary metabolites with potent antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer activities. This review focuses on the Lamiaceae species and their secondary metabolites encompassing a wide array of beneficial functions and their applicability as sources of functional foods. It could help in addressing specific consumer needs as healthy diet is a part of the lifestyle that maintains or improves overall health.

“…An extensive review on pharmacological property and chemical diversity of secondary metabolites of the genus Nepeta has been presented by Formisano et al 2011. Therein, a large number of secondary metabolites including nepetalactones, monoterpenes (iridoids and their glucosides), diterpenes, triterpenes, phenolics and flavonoids have been reported.…”

Seven edible plants including three unexplored species of high altitude (Ladakh) region were screened for antioxidant activity by bioassay guided fractionation method. The objective of the study was to dereplicate the complex phytochemical matrix of a plant in reference to antioxidant activity in vitro. The screening result showed that ethylacetate fraction of Nepeta longibracteata possesses maximum antioxidant activity, comparable to that of green tea. It also exhibited significant protecting effect against oxidative stress induced by t-BHP in human RBCs. Phytochemical profiling of the most active fraction by nontargeted RP-HPLC-MS and MS/MS technique showed that rosmarinic acid and methylrosmarinate constituted nearly 51 % of the total metabolites apart from twelve other major chemotypes.

Infra-generic morphological variations in some Nepeta L. taxa of Iran

2017

Nepeta L. is one of the most important genera of the Lamiaceae family, which widely distributed all over the word. The members of this genus are use of traditional and modern medicine. Nepeta species growth naturally in various parts of Iran and recent years the number of its species is increasing. In the study, morphological characteristics of twenty four populations of seventeen Nepeta taxa were used for infra-generic classifications, because there were many discussions about infra-generic classification of this genus. For this, forty qualitative as well as quantitative morphological features of both vegetative and reproductive organs were examined. Data were analyses with MVSP and SPSS softwares. ANOVA test showed significant variations for all the studied quantitative traits, with the exception of flower number per cycle. Furthermore, most of qualitative characters such as basal and floral leaf shape and petal color differed between taxa. PCA-biplot and CA joint plot showed that some morphological characters had taxonomic value and were useful in identifications of species. In many cases, clustering of species in the UPGMA tree, PCA and PCO plots did not confirm species placements in groups/ sections according to modern classifications. Furthermore, populations of same species did not cluster closely. It seems that ecological conditions had strong effect on different features of this study and high infra-specific variations were found among the studied species.
