- Abstract
- Ethnopharmacological relevance: Salvia plebeia R. Br. (SP) has been widely used as a traditional folk medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases and pain. An anti-inflammatory potential of SP has remains largely unknown. Aim of the study: We tried to elucidate the principle mechanism and the active ingredients underlying the anti-inflammatory activities of SP. Materials and methods: We investigated the protective activities of SP methanolic extract (SPME) and seven representative ingredients against inflammation. Quantitative analysis using HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS was conducted to determine the relative amounts of these seven active ingredients in SPME. Both in vitro murine macrophages and in vivo mouse models were employed to elucidate SP- and active ingredient-mediated anti-inflammatory effects. Results: SPME significantly reduced inflammatory processes both in vivo in a TPA-induced ear edema model and in vitro in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. SPME decreased the release of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Seven active components (luteoloside (C1), nepitrin (C2), homoplantagenin (C3), luteolin (C4), nepetin (C5), hispidulin (C6), and eupatorin (C7)) of SPME were analyzed and their relative concentrations were determined, demonstrating that C2, C3, C5 and C6 were present in higher amounts than were Cl, C4, and C7. These major compounds inhibited NO and PGE(2) production, and iNOS and COX-II protein expression through heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction via activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor2 (Nrf2). Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that SPME possesses potent in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities. Nepetin and hispidulin, and their glycosides are the major active compounds in SPME, and their effects are mediated by Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. Taken together, we propose that SPME and its active ingredients may serve as novel therapeutic candidates for diseases associated with excessive inflammation. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
