Abstract
Previous research has described promising neuroprotective and/or antioxidant properties for extracts derived from a few Salvia (sage) species. Here, six new Salvia species were isolated during flowering times from plants native to Turkey. Extracts were prepared and then examined for their potential to rescue both anterior and posterior mechanosensory behavioral defects in a transgenic C. elegans Alzheimer's disease model that expresses human amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide (1-42) exclusively in the glutamatergic neurons. Extracts from all six Salvia species rescued anterior touch response defects while only three rescued posterior touch response defects, compared to the Aβ controls.
