“…A review of the literature regarding the biological properties of Z. clinopodioides essential oil revealed that most studies focused on its antibacterial effects (3,6,8,10,14,17,18,28,32,49,(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65), antifungal activity (10,22,44,57,(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73), and antioxidant capacity (9,19,28,56,64,74,75). A few other biological effects were assessed in some studies, which will be discussed later in this review.…”

Context: Ziziphora clinopodioides is a well-known aromatic and culinary species of the genus Ziziphora. It has been used in Iranian folk medicine for healing digestive issues and fever. Extensive studies have been published on the characterization of the essential oil of this aromatic plant and its related biological properties. This study aimed to review the chemical composition and biological properties of Z. clinopodioides essential oil. Evidence Acquisition: The literature survey was performed using search engines Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed, with the search period spanning within 1990 to 2022. Results: The investigation of Z. clinopodioides essential oil composition revealed that oxygenated monoterpenoids, such as pulegone and related menthane-type structures, in addition to aromatic monoterpenoids, such as carvacrol and thymol, comprise the majority of Z. clinopodioides essential oil components. Due to the high monoterpenoid content, Z. clinopodioides essential oil possesses outstanding biological properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activity. Conclusions: Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil could be considered a natural, rich source of bioactive monoterpenoids encompassing potent biological activities. Therefore, based on the reported properties, it seems that Z. clinopodioides essential oil potentially has widespread industrial applications.

“…Chemical research showed that the main chemical components of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam are volatile oil (pulegone, limonene, menthol, pinene, menthone, and menthenone) (SATCM, 1999), vitamin, organic acids (caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid) (Zhou et al, 2011), flavonoids (acacetin, apigenin, chrysoeriol, kaempferol, hyperoside, quercetin) (Yang and Gu, 2011), alkaloids, glycosides (Shahla, 2012;Anzabi, 2016) and so on. Many documents have been conducted on the antibacterial and antifungal activities of the plants.…”

“…This activity could be associated to the pulegone (Shahla, 2012). In Turkey, the infusions of Ziziphora species, Z. clinopodioides, have been used as an antiseptic, carminative and sedative agent to treat cold, flu, cough, stomach ache, and diarrhea (Anzabi, 2016). Flavonoids ingredients such as acacetin have antioxidant effects.…”

Context: Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. (Lamiaceae) is an annual or perennial herb or subshrub widely distributed from the Mediterranean to central Asia and Afghanistan. In Xinjiang, China, the whole herb has been used in traditional Kazakh and Uygur medicines as anti-febrile and detoxicating drug. Aims: To characterize macroscopical, microscopically of the overground part of the Z. clinopodioides, explore and establish the macro-morphology, micro-morphology, quality and physicochemical parameters standards for this plant. Methods: Pharmacognostical and phytochemical investigations were conducted in terms of macroscopic, microscopic and preliminary phytochemical parameters. Results: The vegetable material can be identified by structural features of the flowers, structural characteristics of the stem, specific pale brown hesperidin can be regarded as identification character. This crude drug showed the characteristic physicochemical values like total ash (7%), insoluble ash (1.3%), water soluble ash (3.7%), moisture (7.5%). The ethanolic extract contained flavonoids, organic acids, alkaloids, and glycosides. Conclusions: Various pharmacognostical characters that observed in this study can be an effective supplement to further research of this ethnomedicinal plant. Meanwhile, the results of this paper deal with pharmacognostical studies on the Ziziphora clinopodioides in an attempt to mitigate the adulteration to the crude drug.
