GC-MS and HPLC chemical profile, antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase, and anti-diabetic activities of Libyan Salvia lanigera herb extract and essential oil.

ABSTRACT: The current study explored the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oil and ethanol extract of Salvia lanigera collected from Libya. The ethanol extract obtained from the wild growing S. lanigera was evaluated for the chemical composition via high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD), which demonstrated phenolic and flavonoid contents. A total of 17 compounds, representing phenolic and flavonoid derivatives, have been identified. Besides, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the essential oil obtained from S. lanigera aerial parts identified 24 compounds, accounting for 99.33% of the oil, and the major components were characterized to be 1,8-cineole (27.28%), camphor (25.82%), α-pinene (7.71%), and α-terpineo
