Plant-derived bioactive substances have demonstrated significant qualities that suggest they may be crucial in preventing various chronic diseases. Flavonoids, which include apigenin, are the biggest group of polyphenols. In our study, we aimed to obtain the methanol-chloroform (1:1) extract from the aerial parts of Hedge & Lamond and purify the apigenin using bioactivity-guided isolation to separate the active fraction.

Nepetanudoside B (NNB) was isolated from aerial parts of endemic crude extract (CHOH-CHCl) using silica gel (-hexane, methanol, ethyl acetate, and dichlorometane, respectively) and sephadex LH-20 (65% Methanol-35% Chloroform) column chromatographies. -HPLC was used to purify NNB after activity-guided isolation of methanol sub-fractions with enzyme inhibitory and DNA protective properties. The NNB was determined using H,C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and LC-MS/MS.

1,5,9-epideoxyloganic acid (ELA) was isolated from the aerial parts of endemic Boiss Et Kotschy Ex Boiss crude extract (methanol:chloroform) using silica gel (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol) and sephadex LH-20 (65% methanol-35% chloroform) columns. Activity-guided isolation was performed on methanol sub-fractions with DNA protection and enzyme inhibitory activities, and then the ELA was purified by -HPLC. The ELA structure, bio-guided isolate, was determined H NMR, C NMR, and MS spectrometry.
