Abdolhossein Rustaiyan Prof*, Afsaneh Faridchehr PhD and Mahdieh Ariaee Fard MSC

ABSTRACT

A part from their common constituents (Terpenoides and Flavonoids) and their interesting biological activities, the genus Salvia is unusual as it is the only genus in the Labiate that contains Sesterterpenes (C25). Since these rare and interesting compounds were, for the first time isolated and identified from Iranian Salvia species by the senior author, their spectroscopic data are briefly reviewed.

Keywords: Iranian Salvia Species, Lamiaceae, Sesterterpenoids, NMR Spectroscopic Data.
