Species belonging to Lamiaceae family are used as an antibacterial agent among medical plants. The aim of the present study was to determinate the antibacterial effects of the methanolic extracts of some plant species belonging Lamiaceae family which distributed to different ecological conditions in Amasya. The antibacterial effects of Stachys annua, Scutellaria salviifolia and Nepata nuda plant extracts were determined by disc diffusion and micro dilution methods. The antibacterial effects of plant extracts were tested against standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 70600, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076. We observed that plant extracts had antibacterial effect when they compared with control group antibiotics. According to the results of disc diffusion method, the highest antibacterial effect was identified in Scutellaria salviifolia, Stachys annua and Nepata nuda, respectively. The microdilution method was studied concentration range from 6.25 -to 50 mg/ml. MICs of the most effective Scutellaria salviifolia plant extract were 12.5 mg/ml for S. aureus, S. enteritidis and E. coli; 25 mg/ml for K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa. The MICs of Stachys annua extract were 12.5 mg/ml for P. aeruginosa, S. enteritidis and E. coli; 25 mg/ml for S. aureus and 50 mg/ml for K. pneumoniae. MICs of Nepata nuda were 12.5 mg/ml K. pneumonia; 25 mg/ml for S. aureus; 50 mg/ml for P. aeruginosa, S. enteritidis and E. coli. This study showed that Scutellaria salviifolia, Stachys annua and Nepata nuda species have in vitro antibacterial activities.

“…Plants belonging to this family are dispersed worldwide and considered as some of the least difficult plants to cultivate. Coupled with easiness of cultivation, their aromatic, spicy properties make them an important part of pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries [13]. Plants discussed in this paper are herbaceous, so the parts most frequently used are leaves and herba, upper parts of the segment of the plant, mostly collected in full blossom.…”

Constant search for new drugs with antiviral properties often extends to products of natural origin. Lamiaceae is one of the most important herbal families, well known for various biological and medicinal effects of a variety of aromatic spices, including thyme, mint, oregano, basil, sage, savory, rosemary, self-heal, hyssop, lemon balm and many others. The paper provides a review of antiviral potential of previously mentioned plants which has been demonstrated so far, with special emphasis on anti-HIV properties. Relevant articles were compiled by searching plant names combined with keywords describing antiviral activity. The antiviral effect is direct, with prominent activity against enveloped viral species. Initial stages of the viral life cycle are the most affected, as these plants appear to be targeting mainly viral structures responsible for attachment to target cells. In case of HIV, there is some activity against key enzymes in the viral life cycle. Even in the case of drug resistance, there is an equal susceptibility to applied herbal preparations. Some in vivo experiments suggest that use of Lamiaceae representatives could help in prevention and treatment of some viral diseases. A possible reduction of side effects of diseases and conventional drug therapy are also some aspects worth further investigations.

“…Plants have long been used for the treatment of various conditions and many researches are being done in pharmaceutical industries because of the belief that these natural remedies might have lesser side effects than current drugs (1). Lamiaceae family is one of the largest and specific flowering plants with about 220 genera and 4000 species all around the world (2,3). The genus Nepeta L. is one of the genera of Nepetoideae subfamilies and consists of about 300 species widely distributed in Europe, Asia and some areas of Africa (3,4).…”

“…Archaeological excavation evidence suggests that some species of the Lamiaceae family were widely cultivated in the past locally (9). Many species of this family have been shown to possess similar essential oils (2,3). Many studies have been conducted on the chemical composition of the Nepeta sp.…”
