Abstract :
Salvia leriifolia Benth. (vernacular names such as Nuruozak and Jobleh) is a perennial herbaceous plant that
grows exclusively in south and tropical regions of Khorasan and Semnan provinces, I. R. Iran. Unlike other
species of Salvia genus, the chemical constituents of S. leriifolia are not well recognized. The stem oil of the
plant consisted mainly both monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, while in leaf and flower oils monoterpenes
predominated over sesquiterpenes. In recent years, the different properties of this plant such as the
attenuation of morphine dependence, hypoglycemic, antinociceptive and antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antiischemia,
anticonvulsant, antiulcer effects, antibacterial activities and antimutagenic effects were evaluated.
These effects introduce this plant for more toxicological and clinical trials evaluations as a herbal medicine
