was developed and validated. According to the GC–MS analysis results, Salvia hypargeia
Fisch. & C.A. Mey. roots were found to be rich in ferruginol (30787.97 μg/g
extract) and lupenone (23276.21 μg/g extract), and leaves in lupeol (20625.92 μg/g
extract). Additionally, the essential oil and aroma contents of this species were identified
by GC-MS technique. According to the LC-MS/MS results, especially S. hypargeia
leaf extract was rich in rosmarinic acid (38035.7 μg/g extract) and isoquercitrin
(4136.91 μg/g extract). Furthermore, anticholinesterase, antiurease, antityrosinase
and antielastase inhibitory, antioxidant, cytotoxic activities of the ethanol extracts,
essential oil, and major components of the species were evaluated. Antioxidant potentials
of all extracts of this species were quite high in all studied antioxidant methods.
Moreover, butyrylcholinesterase and elastase inhibitory capacities of ferruginol,
the major component of S. hypargeia roots, were notable. For these reasons, this
species has a high potential for food and pharmaceutical industries.
Practical applications
This new GC–MS method was applied to S. hypargeia Fisch. & C.A. Mey. and it indicated
that this species possessed high amount of ferruginol and lupeol, and that this
species could be used for their natural sources. According to the results of the activity
studies (antioxidant, anticholinesterase, tyrosinase, elastase, and cytotoxic), this
method was used to exhibit which compound may be responsible for the activities.
This developed and validated method could be easily applied to determine major/
