Prospects of the Application of Some Species of the Lamiaceae Family and Some Features of the Development of Their Tinctures: Prospects of the Appication of Some Species of the Lamiaceae Family

Abstract

The search for new powerful herbal products with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antinociceptive activities presents an important area of pharmaceutical research. Some plants of the Lamiaceae family are well-known for their significant antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving activities. Species of the Lamiaceae attract a great scientific interest mainly due to the diversity of terpenes and phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids. Essential oils possess certain antimicrobial activity. For experimental studies, we selected four herbs. Among them were Monarda fistulosa L., Satureja hortensis L., Thymus vulgaris L., and Mentha piperita L. Four tinctures of the above-mentioned herbs were elaborated and partly phytochemically evaluated. We established the coefficients of alcohol absorption for the tested raw materials and the maximum absorption for active markers and ticntures after adding aluminum chloride that is needed for the development and standardization of tictures. The solutions of complexes aluminum chloride with quercetin (20 mg/L), rutin (50.2 mg/L), and chrysin (80 mg/L) had the maximum absorption at the wavelengths of 425.9 ±0.3 nm at 77 min of the reaction, 412.3 ±0.3 nm at 82 min, 388.4 ±0.7 nm at 81 min, respectively. The tinctures of Monarda fistulosa, Satureja hortensis, Thymus vulgaris, and Mentha piperita had the maximum absorption at 391.2 ±0.5 nm at 91 min, 389.9 ±0.5 nm at 76 min, 391.8 nm at 83 min, 394.9 ±1.1 nm at 78 min, respectively. The carried out spectrophotometric studies confirmed the prevalence of flavones in the tested tinctures, considering the proximity of the maximum absorption of the tested tinctures and chrysin. The next studies will be continued at the standardization of the developed tinctures and the establishment of their antimicrobial activity.

Characteristic of Salvia officinalis L. Genotypes in the Steppe of South Ukraine

“…The most common among them are lavender, lavandin (Fernández-Sestelo and Carriello, 2020; Pokajewicz et al, 2021), lemon wormwood (Korablova et al, 2020), medicinal hyssop, peppermint (Yezerska et al, 2021), thyme (Vergun et al, 2022), monarda (Dudchenko et al, 2020), sage (Korablova et al, 2019), the raw materials of which are used in the pharmaceutical, perfumery and cosmetic, food industry, and medicine (Mňahončaková et al, 2019;Hudz et al, 2020;Frolova et al, 2021;Коrablova et al, 2021).…”

Methodological Approach to the Elaboration of the Analytical Procedure of the Antioxidant Activity Determination of the Schisandra chinensis (Turcz) Baill. Extracts

“…We cannot compare our results with published data as antioxidant activity was expressed in rutin equivalents in our studies. The ethanol absorption coefficient is a main technological parameter in the pharmaceutical manufacture of extracts (Yezerska et al, 2021). The results of the technological studies are provided in Table 3.…”

Facets of the Elaboration of the Salvia sclarea L. Extracts

“…Currently, the role of medicinal plants as a source of herbal medicinal preparations has become a topic of global importance (Zengin et al, 2018, Kivrak et al, 2019. Plants from the Lamiaceae family containing terpenes and polyphenols have interesting biological activities (Valant-Vetschera et al, 2003;Tavakkoli et al, 2014, Kivrak et al, 2019Yezerska et al, 2021). This family consists of about 200 genera and from 3200 to 6500 species and is known as a family of aromatic plants (Valant-Vetschera et al, 2003;Schmiderer et al, 2008;Asadi et al, 2010;Hanganu et al, 2018; Facets of the elaboration of the Salvia sclarea L. extracts Hudz et al, 2021).…”

Most genera of Lamiaceae are rich in terpenoids, iridoid glycosides and flavonoids (Valant-Vetschera et al, 2003;Asadi et al, 2010;Aćimović et al, 2018;Zengin et al, 2018;Yezerska et al, 2021).…”

The characteristic feature of plants from the Lamiaceae family is good antioxidant capacity, which is connected to many medicinal properties.…”
