Nepetoideae is the most diverse subfamily of Lamiaceae, and some species are well known for their culinary and medicinal uses. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the therapeutic properties of the species of this group regarding inflammatory illnesses. This study aims to collect information on traditional uses through ethnobotanical, pharmacological, and phytochemical information of the subfamily Nepetoideae related to inflammatory diseases. UNAM electronic resources were used to obtain the information. The analysis of the most relevant literature was compiled and organised in tables. From this, about 106 species of the subfamily are traditionally recognised to alleviate chronic pain associated with inflammation. Pharmacological studies have been carried out in vitro and in vivo on approximately 308 species belonging to the genera , , , , , , and . Phytochemical and pharmacological evaluations have been performed and mostly prepared as essential oil or high polarity extracts, whose secondary metabolites are mainly of a phenolic nature. Other interesting and explored metabolites are diterpenes from the abietane, clerodane, and kaurane type; however, they have only been described in some species of the genera and . This review reveals that the Nepetoideae subfamily is an important source for therapeutics of the inflammatory process.

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of A. indica (Neem) leaf extracts (ethanolic and aqueous) in yeast-induced pyrexia and acetic acid-induced writhing in rat models to evaluate the antipyretic and analgesic biomarkers and its phytochemical screening with computational analysis. For the antipyretic activity model 60 albino rats (160-200g) of either sex were divided into 4 groups and all groups were injected with yeast to induce pyrexia.

Berberine (BER) and Cyperus rotundus rhizomes extract (CRE) are phytochemicals characterized by broad-spectrum pharmacological activity that could tackle the side effects of conventional mastitis therapies, however, they undergo a modest bioavailability. In the current study, nanoformulations of BER and CRE chitosan hydrogel (BER/CH-NPs, CRE/CH-NPs) were investigated for their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects against S. aureus-induced mastitis in a rat model.
