Bioactivity of new Salvia species to fight diseases.

Abstract

Background: Medicinal plants have long been utilized in traditional medicine in Turkey and worldwide. The flora of Turkey is so rich it needs to be discovered, documented, and explored. This plant species is the origin of many valuable medicinal chemicals. Salvia species was used in folk medicine for many years in Turkey. One of the new Salvia species is Salvia siirtica.

Methods: The antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant, DNA restriction inhibition, and DNA protective activities of methanolic extract of S. siirtica were studied.

Results: The extract has better activity than the standard antibiotics against P. aeruginosa, meanwhile, showed high DPPH scavenging activity with an IC₅₀ value of 28.72 ± 8.02 µg/ml. The extract exhibited good cytotoxic potential with IC₅₀ value 0.31 ± 0.07 mg/ml towards H1299 cell line. The restriction enzyme inhibition in presence of plant extract proves that extract can interact with restriction endonuclease enzymes. Apigenin and Luteolin 7- glycoside are two high components of S. siirtica were docked against potential intracellular targets to evaluate their inhibition capability. Luteolin its derivative luteolin-7-glycoside showed the highest potential in molecular docking studies.

Conclusions: Determining the bioactivity of these components by isolating them from the plant may pave the way for their use as supportive agents in the fight against many diseases.

Keywords: Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, DNA-interaction, Docking, Salvia siirtica
