The Lamiaceae family is an important resource for the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and perfumery sectors. The species Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam., belonging to the Lamiaceae family, has been used in folk medicine since ancient times. The aim of the present study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant, cytotoxic and enzyme (AChE, BChE, tyrosinase, urease, elastase, collagenase and ACE) inhibition activities of ethanol extracts of the aerial parts of natural and cultivated samples of the species Z. clinopodioides. In addition, the aroma contents of the species were determined by GC-MS/FID, and the phytochemical composition of the ethanol extracts was determined by LC-MS/MS. According to the aroma analysis results, the major components of the culture sample of the Z. clinopodioides species were determined as pulegone (39.83%), cis- menthone (21.36%), trans-menthone (16.64%), while the major components of the natural sample were determined as pulegone (62.42%), neoisomenthol (5.93%) and cis-pulegone oxide (5.47%). According to LC-MS/MS results, quinic acid (25.841, 15.694 mg analyte g-1 extract, respectively), rosmarinic acid (6.804, 25.523), and acacetin (6.115, 10.764) were detected as major compounds in cultured and natural samples of the species. Also, hesperidin (5.725) was higher in culture sample. According to the enzyme activity results, it was determined that cultured and natural samples of the species showed moderate butyrylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition activity (inhibition %: 45.14 +/- 1.40; 43.57 +/- 0.73, respectively). In urease enzyme inhibition activity, it was determined that culture sample showed moderate activity (inhibition %: 43.64 +/- 0.39) but natural sample did not show activity, and culture sample showed high antihypertensive activity (inhibition %: 81.6 +/- 1.19). When the results were evaluated in general, it was determined that the cultured sample of the species showed higher antioxidant, butyrylcholinesterase, urease, and antihypertensive activity compared to natural sample.
An Investigation and Comparison of Concentration Change in Simulated Body Fluid Medium Conditions of the Calcium Element in 27 Different Salvia Species

Background and Aims: In this study, calcium (Ca) element concentration changes of Salvia species in simulated body fluid (SBF) medium conditions were investigated and the results in these medium conditions were compared with each other.Methods: Salvia species samples were air-dried and ground into powder. Salvia species was prepared as a herbal tea. Pre-pared teas were left in three different SBF medium conditions. The samples were analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) method to determine the Ca absorptions. Also, a correlation analysis of the results obtained in three different SBF medium conditions and the species in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) medium conditions was performed.Results: When the SBF medium conditions were compared, it was determined that the highest Ca absorption of all Salvia species occurred in the SGF conditions. Thus, it can be said that the Ca in plants and foods occurs in the gastric fluid medium and its absorption occurs there. When the result of the correlation analysis was evaluated, it was determined that there was a stronger correlation between the SGF and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) mediums compared to other mediums.Conclusion: The Ca absorption was determined according to what remained in the SGF the most. Based on the results ob-tained from SBF medium conditions, it can be said which element is taken in which body fluid medium. Information on the differences between samples belonging to different SBF medium conditions was not obtained. However, when the simulated fluid medium conditions were evaluated individually, information was obtained for two or more samples.

The Ziziphora species, classified under the Lamiaceae family, have a strong aromatic property. Ziziphora species have been used in folk medicine as sedative, gastric, aphrodisiac, bloating, and degassing. In the current study, the phenolic and flavanoid content of ethanol extracts of Ziziphora capitata L. species of flower, leaf, branch, mixed, and root parts was determined by the LC-MS/MS device. In addition, the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the extracts, as well as their inhibitory effects on enzymes (antihypertensive, AchE (acetylcholinesterase), BchE ( butyrylcholinesterase), elastase, tyrosinase, collagenase and urease), were determined. The LC-MS/MS results showed that quinic acid (25578, 5842, 25171, 14055, 10597 mu g g-1, respectively) was found in higher amounts in flower, leaf, branch, mixed, and root extracts of Z. capitata species compared to other components. Additionally, rosmarinic acid (17097 mu g g-1), cynaroside (8432), and hesperidin (8067) were found to be major components. It was observed that the flower extract of the species exhibited strong antioxidant activity (IC50: 37.18 +/- 1.36 mu g mL-1, 9.89 +/- 0.45, A0.5:16.27 +/- 0.02, respectively) in DPPH, ABTS and CUPRAC methods. It was concluded that the leaf extract of Z. capitata species had a strong cytotoxic effect on HT-29 (colon cancer cell line) (viability %: 9.26 +/- 0.69). It was observed that the root part of the species exhibited higher activity in butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme inhibition activity (inhibition %: 40.56 +/- 0.88) than other parts. It was determined that Z. capitata extracts did not show acetylcholinesterase, urease, tyrosinase, elastase, collagenase, and antihypertensive enzyme activity or showed low activity. As a result, it is thought that the flower extract of the Z. capitata species has better results in terms of the examined parameters, whereas the leaf extract needs to be subjected to more detailed in vitro and in vivo research conducted to be used in the pharmaceutical industry as a result of its cytotoxic effect against colon cancer cell lines.
