“…The results obtained indicated that medicinal plants are overall a significant source of mineral composition. The nutrient analysis was within the range of other reports for M. officinalis [30], S. cypria [31], and S. fruticosa [32], or had small variations, as in the cases of M. piperita [33] or T. capitatus [34]. To our knowledge, this is the first report that analyzes the mineral content and nutritional value of O. dubium.…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants’ properties, still an interesting research area, are attributed to the presence of various specialized products that possess important pharmacological activities. In the present study, six medicinal/aromatic plants (Sideritis cypria, Origanum dubium, Melissa officinalis, Mentha piperita, Thymus capitatus, and Salvia fruticosa) were evaluated for their phytochemical and nutritive composition, as well as their biological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties. The results obtained indicate that M. piperita was rich in proteins and minerals such as N and Mg, while S. cypria accumulated more K, Na, P, and Ca. The highest content of phenols and flavonoids was observed in M. piperita, followed by O. dubium and T. capitatus, which eventually influenced their high antioxidant capacity. NMR screening revealed the presence of (i) triterpenoids and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives in M. officinalis; (ii) terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acid derivatives in S. fruticosa; (iii) flavonoids and phenolic acid derivatives in M. piperita; (iv) phenolic monoterpenes in O. dubium and T. capitatus; and (v) terpenoids, flavones, and phenylethanoid glycosides in S. cypria. The results of the antimicrobial activity showed that the tested samples overall had quite good antimicrobial potential. High antibacterial activity was found in O. dubium and T. capitatus, while O. dubium and S. cypria exhibited great antifungal activities. The studied species also had an important effect on the viability of female-derived and colon cancer cells. In particular, in colon cancer cells, the extracts from T. capitatus, M. officinalis, M. piperita, and S. fruticosa exhibited a stronger effect on cell viability in the more metastatic cell line at significantly lower concentrations, indicating an important therapeutic potential in targeting highly metastatic tumors. This finding is worth further investigation. The present study unveiled interesting phytochemical profiles and biological properties of the six medicinal/aromatic plants, which should be further explored, contributing to green chemistry and the possible creation of natural health products for humans’ health/nutrition and additives in cosmetics.

“…Additionally, plant extractions can control the makeup of the gut microbiota by acting as anti-inflammatory medications. 4,5,6 Plants may prevent several diseases whose genesis includes immunological dysfunctions or systemic inflammation. Additionally, the bioactive components of plants can control the oxidative stress brought on by imbalanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cell enzymes' capacity to act as antioxidants.…”

They are known for their capacity to decrease cholesterols as well as for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting qualities. 11 Miralbilis jalapa L., the umbrella worts or four-o'clock, belongs to the Nyctaginaceae plant family. M. jalapa is the most well-known species of the Mirabilis genus, boasting numerous varieties primarily found in the Americas. 12 , 13 This flowering wonder holds a hidden treasure within its root: an antiviral protein with immense potential. It is a triple threat against various ailments, with antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-tumor properties. Its extracts find their way to cosmetics and dermopharmaceuticals, aiding in the fight against inflammation and dry skin. 14 M. jalapa even contributes to environmental clean-up, effectively coremediating soil contaminated with heavy metals and organic pollutants. 15 In traditional medicine, M. jalapa boasts a long wound healing, 16 inflammation relief, and acute arthritis, 16,17 digestive aid and purgative. 18 Previous studies have identified a treasure trove of compounds within M. jalapa extracts, including D-glucan, terpenoids, fatty acids, βsitosterol, steroids, daucosterols, 2-O-methylabronisoflavone, Oxymethyl anthraquinone, and β-sitosterol acetates. 18,19 This new study focuses on M. jalapa grown in Jordan, aiming to estimate the phytochemical composition, quantify the levels of various bioactive compounds like phenols, analyze the lipid profile, and assess the extract's potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative (anticancer), and anti-hemolytic (red blood cell protection) activities. Materials and MethodsPlant collection and identification M. jalapa was obtained from local gardens in Amman, Jordan

“…The genus Salvia L. is commonly known as sage and includes the most common Salvia officinalis L. (Dalmatian sage), Salvia lavandulaefolia, Salvia fruticosa, Salvia. Miltiorrhiza, and others [5], and is represented by approximately one thousand species worldwide [6,7]. Several biological activities have been reported for sage extracts, such as antibacterial, anticancer, anticholinesterase, antinociceptive, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, liver-protective, antioxidant, etc.…”

Nutrition has crucial effects and a significant role in disease prevention. Recently, nutraceuticals have attracted much attention in scientific research due to their pleiotropic effects and relatively non-toxic behavior. Among the biological effects displayed by plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family, such as antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anticholinesterase, sage is well known for its antioxidant properties and is a rich source of numerous compounds that are biologically active, amongst them polyphenols, with more than 160 types identified. In this review we summarized some of the significant studies published in the last decade reporting the most employed extraction methods and the different assays that are useful for establishing the antioxidant properties of some sage species. Even though the scientific literature contains plenty of data regarding the antioxidant properties of many sage species, further studies are needed in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action and the compounds responsible for their antioxidant activity. Finally, it should be taken into account that the data on the antioxidant properties of sage extracts are often difficult to compare with each other, since a series of variables in the extraction procedures, the type of assay used, and standardization may affect the final result.
