TL;DR: Since the polar extracts of Salvia species dealt with here exhibited excellent antioxidant activities when compared to BHT, it seems possible to keep perishable fat-containing food longer by direct addition of an extract of sage.

TL;DR: The growth-inhibitory and proapoptotic effects of the eighteen sage essential oils were evaluated in three human melanoma cell lines, A375, M14, and A2058, and show that the main components were α-thujone, camphor, borneol, γ-muurolene and sclareol for all the samples, but the percentages varied depending on environmental factors such as altitude, water availability and pedo-climatic conditions.

TL;DR: The compounds tested showed low toxicity and a pharmacological profile similar to other NSAI substances on reducing the edema induced by carrageenan and contractions induced by phenyl-p-quinone; the most active compounds were 1 and 2.
Abstract: Aethiopinone (1), an o-naphthoquinone diterpene from Salvia aethiopis L. roots and two hemisynthetic derivatives 2 and 3 have been evaluated for toxicity, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, and haemostatic activities. The compounds tested showed low toxicity and a pharmacological profile similar to other NSAI substances on reducing the edema induced by carrageenan and contractions induced by phenyl-p-quinone; the most active compounds were 1 and 2. In the same way and as expected with these types of substances, the bleeding time increased. In the TPA-induced ear inflammation model, the three compounds showed a moderate reduction of edema, and 1 produced a significant increase in the reaction time against thermal painful stimuli in the tail immersion test. The results demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory, peripheral and central analgesic properties for 1, as well as antiedematose topical action and peripheral analgesic properties for 2 and 3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the composition of the oils from leaves and flowers of three Salvia species (S. aethiopis L., S. multicaulis Vahl, and S. hypoleuca Benth) has been analyzed by a combination of GC and GC-MS.
Abstract: The composition of the oils from leaves and flowers of three Salvia species (S. aethiopis L., S. hypoleuca Benth. and S. multicaulis Vahl.) has been analysed by a combination of GC and GC–MS. During the flowering period, two oils (S. aethiopis and S. hypoleuca) consisted mainly of sesquiterpenes, while in S. multicaulis oil monoterpenes predominated over sesquiterpenes. The major components of the oil of S. aethiopis were β-caryophyllene (24.6%), α-copaene (15.5%) and germacrene D (13.5%). In the oil of S. hypoleuca, β-caryophyllene (22.0%), δ-elemene (15.5%) and bicyclogermacrene (15.1%) were found to be the major constituents. α-Pinene (26.0%), 1,8-cineole+limonene (20.0%) and camphor (19.0%) were the predominant compounds in the oil of S. multicaulis.

TL;DR: Results showed a significant variation in compositions and yield of essential oils among and within Salvia species, and indicated that some of accessions collected from south had more amounts of essential oil yield than other regions.
