    Terpenoids, essential oil composition and fatty acids profile, and biological activities of Anatolian Salvia fruticosa Mill.
    (2013-01-01) Topcu, GÜLAÇTI; Ozturk, Mehmet; Kusman, TUBA; BARLA DEMIRKOZ, Ayse Asli; Kolak, Ufuk; Ulubelen, Ayhan; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI; KUŞMAN, TUBA
    The hexane and dichloromethane extracts, obtained by re-extraction of the methanol extract of Salvia fruticosa Mill., afforded 7 diterpenoids (carnosol, carnosic acid, carnosic acid 12-methyl ether, rosmadial, isorosmanol, ferruginol, and manool), 4 triterpenoids (alpha-amyryltetracosanoate, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, and erythrodiol), a steroid (3-acetylsitosterol), and a flavone (salvigenin). The galls (apples) of the collected plant were separately extracted with hexane to afford fatty acids composed mainly of oleic acid (29%), palmitoleic acid (29%), and stearic acid (23.20%), which exhibited high anticholinesterase activity, particularly against BChE. The essential oil, obtained from the aerial parts of the plant, exhibited high AChE inhibitory activity, consisting of mainly 1,8-cineol (58.89%). The antioxidant activity according to 6 complementary tests and anticholinesterase potential of the methanol extracts and triterpenoids alpha-amyryltetracosanoate, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, and sitosterol acetate were also investigated, and methanol extract exhibited the highest antioxidant and anticholinesterase activity, surpassing the other tested extracts and pure compounds.

    Selective in-vitro Enzymes- Inhibitory Activities of Fingerprints Compounds of Salvia Species and Molecular Docking Simulations
    (2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) ÖZHAN KOCAKAYA, ŞAFAK; ERTAŞ, ABDULSELAM; Yener, Ismail; Ercan, Bahadir; VARHAN ORAL, ELİF; Akdeniz, Mehmet; Kaplaner, Erhan; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI; Kolak, Ufuk; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI
    Recently Nutrition and Food Chemistry researches have been focused on plants and their products or their secondary metabolites having anti-alzheimer, anti-cancer, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties. Among these plants Salvia L. (Lamiaceae) species come into prominence with their booster effects due to high antioxidant contents, which have over 900 species in the world and 98 in Turkey. Some Salvia species are already in use as herbal treatment of vessel stiffness, Dementia like problems and cancer. Recently some species of Salvia are of extensive research topic. In this study, inhibitory potentials of secondary metabolites, rosmarinic acid, salvigenin, salvianolic acid A and B, tanshinone I and IIA, cyrtotanshinone, dihydrotanshinone I, carnosic acid, carnosol, and danshensu sodium salt were investigated against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, urease and tyrosinase enzymes both in-vitro and in slico in detail. Elevated inhibitory effects on acetyl-and butyryl-cholinesterase of dihydrotanshinone I (IC50: 1.50 +/- 0.02 and 0.50 +/- 0.01 mu g/mL, respectively), carnasol (IC50: 11.15 +/- 0.05 ve 3.92 +/- 0.03 mu g/mL) and carnosic acid (IC50: 31.83 +/- 0.65 ve 4.12 +/- 0.04 mu g/mL) were observed. Furthermore, all other secondary metabolites were active against butyrylcholinesterase. Anti-urease (42.41 +/- 0.85%) and anti-tyrosinase (39.82 +/- 1.16%) activities of tanshinone I were also observed. Potential inhibitory effects of these molecules on target proteins were investigated using DOCK and molecular dynamics calculations. Dock score analysis and Lipinski parameters were demonstrated that these ligands are potential inhibitors against relevant enzymes. Our findings suggest that Salvia species can be utilized as a ptential source of anti-alzheimer active compounds for designing novel products.
