Aim. Long-term studies of the effect of sublethal doses of pre-sowing low-LET ionizing radiation on seeds have demonstrated the effectiveness of radiation biotechnology to stimulate the accumulation of pharmaceutically valuable secondary metabolites in medicinal raw materials of a number of common medicinal plants in Ukraine. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of radiation technology in the case of seeds of Salvia officinalis L. and Silybum marianum L. Methods. X-ray irradiation of seeds at doses up to 50 Gy, spectrophotometric analysis of water-ethanol extracts, fluorescence microscopy of leaf epidermis were used. Results. Doses of pre-sowing X-ray irradiation were selected which maximally stimulate both the increase of biomass of medicinal raw materials and the accumulation of secondary metabolites. In particular for Salvia officinalis L. doses are 5 Gy and 20 Gy, for Silybum marianum L. are 10 Gy and 20 Gy. Conclusions. It is recommended to use two stimulating doses at the same time, as the result of exposure depends essentially on the physiological status of the seeds, growing conditions, varietal characteristics. Increasing the content of flavonoids and phenols in medicinal raw materials has been shown to be a reliable and reproducible marker of stimulating of rosemary acid accumulation in Salvia officinalis leaves. Keywords: radiation-induced stimulation, Salvia officinalis, Silybum marianum, rosemary acid, silibinin.

Numerous articles on Salvia officinalis L. have been published regarding the composition of their essential oil. The considerable variation found may be due to the quality of the plant material as well as to the methods used for analysis. A simple GC-MS method was developed and optimized in the QbD approach, for the determination of sage essential oils. The optimization of GC-MS analysis was performed using different mobile phase flows, injection volumes, split ratios and temperature programs. The optimized method proved to be simple and can be successfully applied for the determination of sage essential oils.

Background.: Currently, the pharmacological management in Alzheimer's disease is based on several chemical structures, represented by acetylcholinesterase and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ligands, with still unclear molecular mechanisms, but severe side effects. For this reason, a challenge for Alzheimer's disease treatment remains to identify new drugs with reduced side effects. Recently, the natural compounds, in particular certain chemical compounds identified in the essential oil of peppermint, sage, grapes, sea buckthorn, have increased interest as possible therapeutics. Objectives.: In this paper, we have summarized data from the recent literature, on several chemical compounds extracted from Salvia officinalis L., with therapeutic potential in Alzheimer's disease. Methods.: In addition to the wide range of experimental methods performed in vivo and in vitro, also we presented some in silico studies of medicinal compounds. Results. Through this mini-review, we present the latest information regarding the therapeutic characteristics of natural compounds isolated from Salvia officinalis L. in Alzheimer's disease. Conclusion.: Thus, based on the information presented, we can say that phytotherapy is a reliable therapeutic method in a neurodegenerative disease.

Culinary sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is a common spice plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae) well known for its distinctive culinary and traditional medicinal uses. Sage tea has been used traditionally as a brain-enhancing tonic and extracts from sage have been reported to have both cognitive and memory enhancing effects. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an endogenous signaling molecule involved in cognition and memory function. In this study, activity-guided fractionation employing preparative reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) of culinary sage extracts led to the discovery of benzyl 6-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-β-D-glucoside (B6AG) as a natural product that upregulates transcription of neurotrophic factors in C6 glioma cells. Purified B6AG showed a moderate dose response, with upregulation of BDNF and with EC50 at 6.46 μM. To better understand the natural variation in culinary sage, B6AG was quantitated in the leaves of several commercial varieties by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The level of B6AG in dried culinary sage was found to range from 334 ± 14 to 698 ± 65 μg/g. This study provided a foundation for future investigations, including quantitative inquiries on the distribution of B6AG within the different plant organs, explorations in optimizing post-harvest practices, and aid in the development of sage varieties with elevated levels of B6AG.
