        Salvia L. is one of the most important members of the Lamiaceae family. Since ancient times, sage has been considered for many medicinal properties.The objective of this research was to determine the phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of eighteen Salvia species collected from various regions of West Azerbaijan province. In this study total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total carotenoid and chlorophyll and antioxidant capacity were determined by using Folin–Ciocalteu assays, aluminum chloride method, Lichtentaler method and DPPH assay, respectively. The results showed that species type has significant effect on phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity (p<0.01). The highest (39.18 mg GAE/g DW) and lowest (1.09 mg GAE/g DW) total phenolic content were in S. verticillata and S. syluestris species respectively. The highest total flavonoid content (1.71 mg/g DW) were recorded in S. hydrangea and the highest total carotenoid content (16.9 4 mg/g DW), chlorophyll a (26.42 mg/100g DW) and chlorophyll b (80.1 mg/100g DW) were observed in S. multicaulis, S. verticillataand S. officinalis species respectively. The highest (89.46 %) and lowest (4.6 %) antioxidant activity were in S. hydrangea and S. syluestris, respectively. Cluster analysis using Ward's method divided all species to three main categories based on their antioxidant and phytochemical properties. These results were showed that different species of Salvia such as S. bracteata, S. officinalis minimus and S. verticillata especially S. hydrangea have valuable medicinal properties. With supplementary studies, it is possible to use these species and their bioactive compounds in plant breeding programs and pharmaceutical industry.   Manuscript profile

        Salvia belongs to the mint family and is one of the medicinal plants that has proven its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-malarial properties for the essential oils and extracts of these plants based on recent research. In the present thesis, the aerial part of seven plant species of Salvia including Salvia sharifii, S. aegyptiaca, S. santolinifolia, S. compressa, S. eremophila, S. macilenta, S. macrosiphon in the spring of 2020, in the stage of full flowering by natural habitat different from Hormozgan province were collected. The study of volatile compounds of these species by GC / MS method led to the identification and determination of compounds such as α –Pinene, Linalool, Limonene, (E)-Caryophyllene, Caryophyllene oxide, Geraniol, Borneol, Menthol and p-Cymene. DPPH method evaluated the antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts of seven species of Salvia. The highest IC50 belonged to S. aegyptiaca and santolinifolia and there was no significant difference with each other and the lowest IC50 belonged to S. macilenta. The highest percentage of free radical scavenging belonged to S. macilenta at a concentration of 1600 μg / ml. HPLC was used to measure the polyphenolic compounds of methanolic extracts of Salvia species. A total of 17 compounds were identified in methanolic extracts, of which only were detected Hesperetin, Rosmarinic acid, Trans-ferulic acid, Eugenol, Hesperedin, Carvacrol, Coumarin, Quercetin and Catechin. The results of this study showed that the amount of total phenol in S. eremophila species was the highest and was significantly different from other species. Manuscript profile
