Phytochemistry Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The plants of the genus Salvia L. are important medicinal herbs of the Lamiaceae family and some of them such as S. officinalis (sage), S. miltiorrhiza (red sage, Danshen) and S. sclarea (clary sage) have been used as medicinal plants in the folk medicine of several countries. In this review, we discuss the reports that have examined Salvia species with the aim of isolation of pure compounds with different biological activities. The phytochemical analyses of various sage plants have reported 10 monoterpenoids (1–10), 1 sesquiterpenoid (11), 8 labdane (13–20), 15 ent-kaurane (21–35), 82 abietane, rearranged abietane and tanshinone (36–117), 3 icetexane (118–120), 43 clerodane (121–163), and 3 pimarane (164–166) diterpenoids with cytotoxic and antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antioxidant, phytotoxic and insecticide effects. The other heavier terpenoids, including 3 sesterterpenes (167–169), 10 triterpenoids and β-sitosterol (170–180) have been introduced as minor bioactive compounds in the sage plants. Sahandinone (107), 6,7-dehydroroyleanone, 7-α-acetoxyroyleanone (40), and tanshinone like diterpenoids have been isolated from the roots’ extracts of different Salvia species. On the other hand, several radical scavenger phenolic compounds like simple phenolics and caffeic acid derivatives (181–201) including rosmarinic acid, flavonoids (202–217) as well as phenolic diterpenoids, such as carnosol and carnosic acid have been isolated from the aerial parts of these plants. One pyrrole (218) and 3 antimicrobial oxylipins (219–221) are among the other less detected constituents in the members of Salvias. Furthermore, sages also synthesize antifungal, antileishmanial and antimalarial phytochemicals in their roots and shoots, which are reviewed in this paper. We also examine the allelopathic phenomena and the ecologically important phytochemicals identified in different parts of the sage plants. Finally, antifeedant and insecticide phenomena, which are due to the presence of volatile monoterpenes and clerodane diterpenes in these plants, are discussed. Considering the presence of diverse biologically active phytochemicals in the sage plants, they can be suggested as suitable candidates for the formulation of valuable natural medicines.
