Determination of Antioxidant Activity of Salvia sclarea L. and Its Inhibitory Effects on Acetylcholinesterase and Monoamine Oxidase A

[...]oxidative stress brought on by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to damage cells by causing cellular and biomolecule oxidation. [...]oxidative stress is implicated in the development of several neurological illnesses, such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons (Bastianetto, 2002; Viña, 2004). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a considerable demand for alternative or complementary medicine practices and practitioners globally (WHO, 2013). According to a study conducted in 2017, ethanolic extract from Salvia sclareas aerial part was characterized by HPLC, and the active ingredients found in the result were phenolic acids (rosmarinic acid 165.30 pg/mg, caffeic acid 0.95 pg/mg), flavonoid aglycones (luteolin 0.50 pg/mg, apigenin 0.22 pg/mg), flavonoid glycosides (luteolin-7-O-glucoside 5.55 pg/mg, apigenin-7-O-glucoside 8.5 pg/mg) (Kostić, 2017).
