Summary
Stachys maritima is a Lamiaceae plant species that exhibits antioxidant and antimicrobial properties [PMID:38995692, PMID:19296388].
Background
Stachys maritima, also known as common sea lavender, is a halophyte plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family [PMID:38995692, PMID:19296388].
Active compounds
The plant contains lipids, sterols, volatiles, and polar compounds [PMID:19296388].
Mechanism of action
Methanol extracts of S. maritima demonstrate antioxidant activity, as evidenced by DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) IC50 values [PMID:38995692].
Clinical evidence
Evidence DMicrobial infections
Methanol extract demonstrated antimicrobial activity [PMID:38995692]; n-butanol extract showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and Candida albicans, though it was inactive against Escherichia coli [PMID:19296388].
Evidence DOxidative stress
S. maritima methanol extract and synthesized carbon quantum dots (ST-CQDs) exhibited strong antioxidant properties [PMID:38995692].
Safety & adverse effects
Research indicates that S. maritima may accumulate environmental pollutants, such as phenidone and naphthalene, from its marine environment [PMID:19296388].
Evidence summary
The current evidence is limited to in vitro studies and chemical characterizations (Level D), focusing on antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
