The study of phenolic composition and acute toxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of dry extracts of some elsholtzia genus (lamiaceae) species

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the Elsholtzia Stauntonii Benth. and Elsholtzia ciliate Thun. dry extracts acute toxity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Phytochemical screening and identification of the main compounds of the dry extracts were performed. The main chemical compounds were determined with HPLC analyses and in total of 18 phenolic compounds (gallic acid, hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, benzoic acid, trans-ferulic acid, synapic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, chinic acid, rutin, quercetin-3-b glucoside, naringin, neohesperidin, quercetin, luteolin, naringenin and kaempherol) were identified and quantified.
