Electroencephalographic profile of Salvia amarissima Ortega and amarisolide A in the absence and presence of PTZ-induced seizures in mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 173:116352. [PMID: 38417289 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Salvia amarissima Ortega is a plant used in traditional medicine to treat CNS's affections. Despite its depressant properties in anxiety and fibromyalgia, there is no scientific evidence about its capability to control seizure activity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the S. amarissima aqueous extract (SAAE) and its metabolite amarisolide A (AMA) on the electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity. The ECoG profiles were previously and concurrently analyzed to the pentylenetetrazole (85 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced seizure behavior after thirty min of the administration of several doses of the SAAE (1, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, i.p.) and two doses of AMA (0.5 and 1 mg/kg, i.p.). A dosage of AMA (1 mg/kg,i.p.) was selected to explore a possible mechanism of action by using antagonists of inhibitory receptors such as GABAA (picrotoxin, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) or 5-HT1A of serotonin (WAY100635, 1 mg/kg, i.p.). Significant changes in the frequency bands and the spectral power were observed after the treatment alone. Additionally, SAAE and AMA produced significant and dose-dependent anticonvulsant effects by reducing the incidence and severity of seizures and increasing latency or survival. Both antagonists prevented the effects of AMA in the severity score of seizures and survival during the tonic-clonic seizures. In conclusion, our preclinical data support that S. amarissima possesses anticonvulsant properties, in part due to the presence of amarisolide A, mediated by different inhibitory mechanisms of action. Our scientific evidence suggests that this Salvia species and amarisolide A are potential neuroprotective alternatives to control seizures in epilepsy therapy.

Antihyperalgesic and Antiallodynic Effects of Amarisolide A and Salvia amarissima Ortega in Experimental Fibromyalgia-Type Pain. Metabolites 2022; 13:metabo13010059. [PMID: 36676984 PMCID: PMC9863681 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13010059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Salvia amarissima Ortega is an endemic species of Mexico used in folk medicine to alleviate pain and as a nervous tranquilizer. The S. amarissima extract and one of its abundant metabolites, identified and isolated through chromatographic techniques, were investigated to obtain scientific evidence of its potential effects to relieve nociplastic pain such as fibromyalgia. Then, the extract and amarisolide A (3-300 mg/kg, i.p.) were pharmacologically evaluated in reserpine-induced fibromyalgia-type chronic pain and in depressive-like behavior (as a common comorbidity) by using the forced swimming test in rats. The 5-HT1A serotonin receptor (selective antagonist WAY100635, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) was explored after the prediction of a chemical interaction using in silico analysis to look for a possible mechanism of action of amarisolide A. Both the extract and amarisolide A produced significant and dose-dependent antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic effects in rats, as well as significant antidepressive behavior without sedative effects when the antinociceptive dosages were used. The 5-HT1A serotonin receptor participation was predicted by the in silico descriptors and was corroborated in the presence of WAY100635. In conclusion, S. amarissima possesses antihyperalgesic, antiallodynic, and anti-depressive activities, partially due to the presence of amarisolide A, which involves the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor. This pharmacological evidence suggests that S. amarissima and amarisolide A are both potential alternatives to relieve pain-like fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Ten new icetexane diterpenoids, salpratins E-N (1-10) and a known analogue (11) were characterized from Salvia prattii Hemsl. Structurally, 1 is the first 19(4 → 3)-abeo-icetexane diterpenoid featuring with a 6/7/6 ring system. The structures of isolated compounds were determined by comprehensive analyses of spectroscopic data, ECD calculation, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Biological studies initially revealed that 1, 7, 10, and 11 are notable Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel (TTCC) inhibitors with IC50 values of 2.9, 5.1, 2.3, and 3.2 μM, respectively. Five icetexane related derivatives (13-17) were synthesized from an abietane type precursor, (+)-carnosic acid (12), for the purpose of overcoming the poor water solubility of aforementioned active compounds and further investigating diverse diterpenes with valuable activity. Among them, 13 and 14 showed potent inhibitions on Cav3.2, having IC50 values of 6.7 and 2.4 μM, respectively. Significantly, they exhibited dose-dependent (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg) and comparable analgesic effects as that of Z944, a TTCCs inhibitor under clinical trial for pain management, in the mouse acetic acid writhing test. These findings further enrich structural diversity and bioactivity of Salvia diterpenoids, as well as provide promising structural templates for the development of Cav3.2 analgesics.

A Review on the Ethnopharmacology and Phytochemistry of the Neotropical Sages ( Salvia Subgenus Calosphace; Lamiaceae) Emphasizing Mexican Species. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:867892. [PMID: 35517814 PMCID: PMC9061990 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.867892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Salvia is the most diverse genus within the mint family (Lamiaceae), many of its species are well-known due to their medicinal and culinary uses. Most of the ethnopharmacological and phytochemical studies on Salvia are centred on species from the European and Asian clades. However, studies about the most diverse clade, the Neotropical sages (Salvia subgenus Calosphace; 587 spp.), are relatively scarce. This review aims to compile the information on the traditional medicinal uses, pharmacological and phytochemistry properties of the Neotropical sages. To do so, we carried out a comprehensive review of the articles available in different online databases published from the past to 2022 (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, among others) and summarized the information in tables. To uncover phylogenetic patterns in the distribution of four different groups of metabolites (mono-, sesqui-, di-, and triterpenes), we generated presence-absence matrices and plotted the tip states over a dated phylogeny of Salvia. We found several studies involving Mexican species of Salvia, but only a few about taxa from other diversity centres. The main traditional uses of the Mexican species of Calosphace are medicinal and ceremonial. In traditional medicine 56 species are used to treat diseases from 17 categories according to the WHO, plus cultural-bound syndromes. Pharmacological studies reveal a wide range of biological properties (e.g., antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, cytotoxic, and antidiabetic, etc.) found in extracts and isolated compounds of 38 Neotropical sages. From extracts of these species, at least 109 compounds have been isolated, identified and evaluated pharmacologically; 73 of these compounds are clerodanes, 21 abietanes, six flavonoids, five sesquiterpenoids, and four triterpenoids. The most characteristic metabolites found in the Neotropical sages are the diterpenes, particularly clerodanes (e.g., Amarisolide A, Tilifodiolide), that are found almost exclusively in this group. The Neotropical sages are a promising resource in the production of herbal medication, but studies that corroborate the properties that have been attributed to them in traditional medicine are scarce. Research of these metabolites guided by the phylogenies is recommended, since closely related species tend to share the presence of similar compounds and thus similar medicinal properties.

[PMID: 34517061 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Salvia limbata C. A. Mey. (Persian name: Maryam Goli-e-labeh dar) has been used for treating central nervous disorders such as insomnia, anxiety and depression in Persian traditional medicine. S. limbata is known for its pharmacological activities which could be at least in a part, upon the presence of rosmarinic acid (RA). However, the sedative-hypnotic effect, anxiolytic activity, possible side effects, and the mechanism of action of S. limbata extract has not yet been examined. AIM OF THE STUDY In the current study the sedative-hypnotic effect, anxiolytic activity, possible side effects, and the mechanism of action of S. limbata extracts were evaluated. Besides, the effects of altitude and phenological stage on the RA content of S. limbata were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sedative-hypnotic and anxiolytic effects were evaluated through the pentobarbital induced loss of righting reflex test and open field test, respectively. Flumazenil was used to reveal the mechanism of action. Possible side effects were investigated in the passive avoidance and grip strength tests. Besides, the effects of altitude and phenological stage (vegetative, flowering, and seed setting) on the RA content of S. limbata were evaluated using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). RESULTS Following behavioral tests, sedative-hypnotic and anxiolytic effects were observed. Since the observed effects were reversed by flumazenil and no side effect on the memory and muscle strength was reported, modulation of the α1-containing GABA-A receptors could be proposed as one of the involved mechanisms. According to the RP-HPLC analysis, harvesting S. limbata in the vegetative stage at the altitude of 2500 m led to the highest content of RA (8.67 ± 0.13 mg/g dry matter). Among different extract of the plant samples collected in the vegetative stage at the altitude of 2500 m, the hydroalcoholic extract showed the highest rosmarinic acid content. CONCLUSION The obtained results help to find the optimum situation to gain the highest content of RA as well as the pharmacological activity that could be economically important for the pharmaceutical industries.

Lamiaceae in Mexican Species, a Great but Scarcely Explored Source of Secondary Metabolites with Potential Pharmacological Effects in Pain Relief. Molecules 2021; 26:7632. [PMID: 34946714 PMCID: PMC8705283 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26247632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Revised: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The search for molecules that contribute to the relief of pain is a field of research in constant development. Lamiaceae is one of the most recognized families world-wide for its use in traditional medicine to treat diseases that include pain and inflammation. Mexico can be considered one of the most important centers of diversification, and due to the high endemism of this family, it is crucial for the in situ conservation of this family. Information about the most common genera and species found in this country and their uses in folk medicine are scarcely reported in the literature. After an extensive inspection in bibliographic databases, mainly Sciencedirect, Pubmed and Springer, almost 1200 articles describing aspects of Lamiaceae were found; however, 217 articles were selected because they recognize the Mexican genera and species with antinociceptive and/or anti-inflammatory potential to relieve pain, such as Salvia and Agastache. The bioactive constituents of these genera were mainly terpenes (volatile and non-volatile) and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids (glycosides and aglycone). The aim of this review is to analyze important aspects of Mexican genera of Lamiaceae, scarcely explored as a potential source of secondary metabolites responsible for the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of these species. In addition, we point out the possible mechanisms of action involved and the modulatory pathways investigated in different experimental models. As a result of this review, it is important to mention that scarce information has been reported regarding species of this family from Mexican genera. In fact, despite Calosphace being one of the largest subgenera of Salvia in the world, found mainly in Mexico, it has been barely investigated regarding its potential biological activities and recognized bioactive constituents. The scientific evidence regarding the different bioactive constituents found in species of Lamiaceae demonstrates that several species require further investigation in preclinical studies, and of course also in controlled clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of these natural products to support their therapeutic potential in pain relief and/or inflammation, among other health conditions. Since Mexico is one of the most important centers of diversification, and due to the high endemism of species of this family, it is crucial their rescue, in situ conservation, and investigation of their health benefits.

Abstract
Despite the availability of many anti-pain drugs, in the form of NSAIDs, steroids, gabapentinoids, opioids, and antidepressants, in this study we address the natural compounds belonging to the group of Mexican medicinal plants or "Mexican folk medicine", used for pain management in Mexico. Our interest in this subject is due to the growing idea that "natural is harmless" and to the large number of side effects exhibited in pharmacotherapy. The objective of this review was to document the scientific evidence about Mexican medicinal plants and their derivatives used for inflammatory and neuropathic pain treatment, as well as the mechanisms of action implicated in their antinociceptive effects, their possible adverse effects, and the main pharmacological aspects of each plant or compound. Our data review suggested that most studies on Mexican medicinal plants have used inflammatory experimental models for testing. The anti-pain properties exerted by medicinal plants lack adverse effects, and their toxicological assays report that they are safe to consume; therefore, more studies should be performed on preclinical neuropathic pain models. Moreover, there is no convincing evidence about the possible mechanisms of action involved in the anti-pain properties exerted by Mexican plants. Therefore, the isolation and pharmacological characterization of these plant derivatives' compounds will be important in the design of future preclinical studies.

Neo-clerodane diterpenic influence in the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of Salvia circinnata Cav. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 268:113550. [PMID: 33152437 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Revised: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Mexico is considered an ancestral center of diversity of Salvia species, however many of them lack scientific information. Salvia circinnata Cav. (syn. Salvia amarissima Ortega) is an endemic species used in traditional medicine to treat disorders attributed to a cold state like anxiety in the central nervous system, as well as gastrointestinal ailments and pain relief. AIM OF THE STUDY To give preclinical evidence about the pharmacological properties of this species by investigating its antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects, the chemical nature of at least one metabolite, and a possible mechanism of action and adverse effects, using different experimental models of pain. MATERIAL AND METHODS Different crude extracts of Salvia circinnata Cav. aerial parts were prepared using increasing polarity and evaluated in the formalin test in mice. This screening allowed to select and evaluate an ethyl acetate extract (EtOAc), as the most bioactive extract, and a metabolite. Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities were confirmed using the plantar test and carrageenan-induced edema. The antinociceptive effects of the extracts were compared to that observed with morphine (1 mg/kg), tramadol (20 mg/kg) or indomethacin (20 mg/kg) as reference drugs. Participation of opioids and TRPV1 receptors was investigated, as well as acute toxicity and adverse effects of sedation and gastric damage. RESULTS EtOAc (0.1-10 mg/kg) of S. circinnata Cav. showed a dose-dependent and significant antinociceptive activity, associated in part with the presence of a neo-clerodane glycoside amarisolide A (0.01-1 mg/kg), in the neurogenic and inflammatory phases of the formalin test. Central action of both treatments was corroborated in the plantar test, whereas anti-inflammatory effects were confirmed with the extract (1 and 10 mg/kg) and amarisolide A (1 mg/kg) in the carrageenan-induced edema test. An opioid mechanism in both treatments, and the TRPV1 receptor modulation in the extract were involved. No acute toxicity and adverse effects were noticed with the extract and pure compound in comparison to the reference drugs. CONCLUSION These results provide preclinical evidence of the ethnopharmacological antinociceptive S. circinnata Cav. properties, in which the neo-clerodane diterpene glycoside amarisolide A was partially responsible involving the participation of the opioid receptors, while TRPV1 receptor modulation was implicated in the anti-inflammatory activity may be because of the presence of other constituents. This information supports the use of this species in folk medicine for pain therapy.

Abstract
Maqui-berry is characterised by presenting a high concentration of (poly)phenols, accounting anthocyanins (cyanidin and delphinidin) for over 85% of the total. These coloured flavonoids have demonstrated potential neurological activity, but the evidence of their antinociceptive properties is scarce. In order to cover this gap, different doses (suitable for human administration) of a maqui-berry powder (1.6% anthocyanin), using enteral and parenteral routes of administration, were compared at central and peripheral levels using a nociceptive pain model (formalin test) in mice. Gastric damage analysis as possible adverse effects of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs was also explored. Dose-antinociceptive response was confirmed using both routes of administration and in both neurogenic and inflammatory phases of the formalin test, without gastric damage. In conclusion, these preliminary data provide evidence of pharmacological properties of maqui-berry to alleviate nociceptive pain.

Abstract
CONTEXT Salvia semiatrata Zucc. (Lamiaceae) is a species used as a tranquilizer and to relieve pain in folk medicine in Santiago Huauclilla, Oaxaca, Mexico. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antinociceptive and anxiolytic-like effects of S. semiatrata extracts and identify a bioactive metabolite. MATERIALS AND METHODS The extracts were obtained by maceration of S. semiatrata aerial parts using solvents in increasing polarity (hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol). A neo-clerodane diterpene was extracted from the ethyl acetate fraction using open column chromatography. Identification of this metabolite was performed by crystallography, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ATR-IR, ECD, MS and elemental analysis. The antinociceptive activity was explored using the writhing and formalin tests. Whereas, the anxiolytic-like responses were analysed in the open-field, hole-board and plus-maze tests. All the treatments were administered using oral gavage in male CD1 mice and explored 30 min after administration of the individual extracts (300 mg/kg) or the compound 1 (0.1, 1 or 10 mg/kg). RESULTS All the extracts produced significant reduction in the nociceptive and anxiety-like behaviour compared to mice treated with the vehicle (0.5% tween 80 in saline solution). The spectroscopic analysis corroborated the presence of the neo-clerodane diterpene 7-keto-neoclerodan-3,13-dien-18,19:15,16-diolide (1), as partial responsible of the antinociceptive and anxiolytic-like effects, which produced a dose-dependent response in the writhing test with an ED50=4.15 mg/kg. Discussion and conclusions: These results reinforce the medicinal properties of S. semiatrata in folk medicine, where participation of a neo-clerodane diterpene was evidenced in the inhibitory central nervous system activity of this species.
