Abstract

Herbal medicine has been used worldwide as an alternative treatment. Salvia genus is one of the most remarked herbs which is traditionally used in the treatment of many diseases. Therefore, it is a crucial issue to reveal the chemical and biological profiles of different Salvia species. Rosmarinic and carnosic acid are the most well-known bioactive components generally accepted as the main antioxidant compounds in Salvia. This study firstly aims the determination of rosmarinic and carnosic acid contents of 14 Anatolian Salvia species by a simple and rapid capillary electrophoresis method. Moreover, the antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of the Salvia samples were investigated. α-Glucosidase enzyme inhibitory effects of the samples were tested concerning their antidiabetic activities.
