Salvia semiatrata Zucc. (Lamiaceae) is endemic to Oaxaca, Mexico, and is known for its analgesic properties. Terpenoids and phenolic compounds with antinociceptive potential have been characterised from this species. The aim of this research was to determine the variation in terpenoids and flavonoids in ethyl acetate extracts of S. semiatrata colle...

... Elevated temperatures alter the stomata's opening and closing mechanism, which impacts carbon uptake, creating an imbalance, and directly impacts the activity of ribulose 1,5 biphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase [40]. Numerous plant species have shown higher amounts of terpenoids and phenolic chemicals when exposed to higher levels of luminance, although plants do experience a modest decrease in their ability to grow vegetatively and reproduce due to the displacement of carbons for the synthesis of mentioned compounds [46]. Still, the formation of these molecules is necessary to shield the plant tissues from excessive solar radiation. ...
Many scientific and industrial groups and companies explore the diverse world of plant phenols and organic compounds with a hydroxyl group attached to an aromatic ring. Their structural variety, from simple phenolic acids to complex polyphenols and flavonoids, gives a wide spectrum of bioactive properties, making them crucial in plant biology and ecological dynamics. These properties are not just essential for plant survival and adaptation, serving as defense mechanisms, but also for human health. The chapter addresses two primary aspects: the bioactivity and bioavailability of plant phenols. The bioactivity section explores the different types of phenols found in plants, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. It highlights common plant sources rich in phenols and the variability in phenol content among species due to genetic and environmental factors. Bioactive properties of phenols, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial potentials, are explored including the mechanisms of action and implications for human health. Additionally, the discussion about bioavailability outlines how phenols are absorbed, metabolized, and excreted in the human body, emphasizing the factors influencing their bioavailability, such as the food matrix and gut microbiota. The chapter concludes by exploring the therapeutic potential of phenols, dietary recommendations, and the need for continued research in this field.

Introduction: Phytogenic substances encompass materials sourced from plants, including spices, herbs, essential oils, and various plant extracts. These materials have
been employed for millennia as natural remedies, owing to their distinctive properties.The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seed powder supplementation on growth performance, carcass traits, and immune response of broiler chickens.
Materials and methods: A total of 250 one-day-old broiler chicks of mixed sex (Ross 307) were randomly distributed into five treatments with five replicates. The basal diet was formulated to meet broiler chickens' nutrient requirements. Chickens in
treatment 1 (T1) received a basal diet, while T2, T3, T4, and T5 were fed with the same diet of date palm seed powder at 100 g, 200 g, 300 g, and 400 g per kg, respectively.
Chickens had unlimited access to feed and clean water throughout the 42 days of the experimental period. Parameters, including growth performance, carcass characteristics, and immune response of broiler chickens were examined during the study. Phytochemical examination indicated that date palm seed powder contained phenol at 340.92 mg/g followed by flavonoids (205.67 mg/g), terpenoids (112.81 mg/g), tannins (96.73 mg/g), saponins (41.64 mg/g), alkaloids (30.57 mg/g), and steroids (21.68 mg/g).
Results: The treatment significantly influenced average daily weight gain, average daily feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Chickens fed with date palm seed powder had a higher average body weight, feed conversion ratio, and feed intake compared to the control group. Dressing percentage, slaughtered weight, and edible organ weights
were higher in T5 compared to other groups.
Conclusion: Date seed powder can be incorporated into broiler chickens' diets up to 400g/kg without negative impacts on the chickens’ performance.
... Abietanes predominate in S. longispicata and S. cinnabarina, and clerodanes in S. lavanduloides. Pimarane (41) and labdane (42) were found in S. cinnabarina. Regarding phenolic compounds (1-18) and triterpenoids (43)(44)(45)(46), they are present in greater quantities in S. cinnabarina and S. lavanduloides, compared to S. longispicata ( Figure 3). ...
Mexico is considered one of the countries with the greatest diversity of the Salvia genus. A significant percentage of its species are known for their use in traditional medicine, highlighting their use as an analgesic. The objective of this work was to determine the chemical composition of the methanolic extracts of S. cinnabarina, S. lavanduloides and S. longispicata through untargeted metabolomics, as well as the in vivo evaluation of the antinociceptive effect and acute oral toxicity. The chemical profiling was performed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI+/−-MS-QTOF) system and tentative identifications were performed using a compendium of information on compounds previously isolated from Mexican species of the genus. Pharmacological evaluation was carried out using the formalin test and OECD guidelines. The analysis of the spectrometric features of the mass/charge ratios of the three salvias shows that a low percentage of similarity is shared between them. Likewise, the putative identification allowed the annotation of 46 compounds, mainly of diterpene and phenolic nature, with only four compounds shared between the three species. Additionally, the extracts of the three salvias produced a significant antinociceptive effect at a dose of 300 mg/kg administered orally and did not present an acute oral toxicity effect at the maximum dose tested, indicating a parameter of LD50 > 2000 mg/kg. The exploration of the chemical profile of the three salvias by untargeted metabolomics shows that, despite being species with antinociceptive potential, they have different chemical profiles and therefore different active metabolites.
