micromeria nervosa/phenolic

Micromeria inodora (Desf.) Benth. is most studied for the antimicrobial activity of their essential oils; nevertheless there are no reports on the phenolic compounds of this species and their antioxidant activity. In this study, aqueous and organic extracts were assayed for their antioxidant

The objective of this study was to quantify the phenolic compounds and to evaluate and compare the biological activities of the ethyl acetate (EtOAc), methanolic (MeOH) and aqueous extracts from the Micromeria nervosa aerial parts, based on their antioxidant activity and enzymatic inhibition. Total

BACKGROUND The global resurgence of tuberculosis is a significant threat. Lamiaceae members have been used in folk remedies for centuries. This study was designed to assess the in-vitro antimycobacterial activity of eighteen crude extracts from six plants (Lamiaceae) and to characterize their

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Micromeria persica led to the isolation of a new oleane type triterpenoid ester (1), together with six known compounds 2-7), comprising one phenyl ethanoid ester, one glycosylated flavonoid, two triterpenoids, and two steroids. Their structures were

BACKGROUND Micromeria croatica (Pers.) Schott is an aromatic plant from Lamiaceae family previously found to possess potent in vitro antioxidant activity which is mainly attributed to the high level of polyphenolic substances. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective activity

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Micromeria graeca on blood glucose levels and lipid parameters in an experimental model of diabetes. Background: Micromeria

Micromeria fruticosa is an important crop, is widely used in the Mediterranean basin as food and in folk medicine, owing to its health-promoting properties, partially due to the secondary metabolite composition. However, complete information on the phyto-metabolites in M. fruticosa is still lacking.

Antioxidant activities of three selected Micromeria species growing in Croatia (M. croatica, M. juliana and M. thymifolia) were evaluated using five different antioxidant assays, in comparison with plant polyphenolic constituents and reference antioxidants. All studied ethanolic extracts exhibited
