1. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Kanamycine-like, gentamycine-like, néomycine-like. Mentioned synergistic association: Chlorpromazine.
   Selon Couthinho HDM (2009) : This is the first report testing the antibiotic resistance-modifying activity of Mentha arvensis against MRSA (methicillin – resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Materials & Methods: In this study an ethanol extract of MA & chlorpromazine were tested for their antimicrobial activity alone or in combination with conventional antibiotics against MRSA strains. Selon Asghar M (2022) : Our results showed FM.E induce ROS generation, cytotoxicity & inhibit Staphylococcus aureus (4.20±0.90 mm) & Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.23±0.32 mm) growth.
2. Liver disorders : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Silymarine-like.
   Selon Patil K (2012) : Methods :Hepatotoxicity was induced by CCL4 and the biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate pyruvate transminase (sGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (sGOT), alkaline phosphatase (sALP), serum bilirubin (sB) & histopathological changes in liver were studied along with silymarin as standard Hepatoprotective agents. To study the Hepatoprotective activity of ethanol, chloroform & aqueous extracts of Mentha arvensis leaves against CCL4induced liver damage in rats. Selon Rajesh K (2013) : The aim of the study is to investigate the ethanol extract of Mentha arvensis leaves were screened for its hepatoprotective & antioxidant activities in CCl4 (1 ml/kg bw) induced hepatic damage in rats.
3. Cancer : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Paclitaxel-like.
   Selon Patil K (2012) : Methods :Hepatotoxicity was induced by CCL4 and the biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate pyruvate transminase (sGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (sGOT), alkaline phosphatase (sALP), serum bilirubin (sB) & histopathological changes in liver were studied along with silymarin as standard Hepatoprotective agents. To study the Hepatoprotective activity of ethanol, chloroform & aqueous extracts of Mentha arvensis leaves against CCL4induced liver damage in rats. Selon Rajesh K (2013) : The aim of the study is to investigate the ethanol extract of Mentha arvensis leaves were screened for its hepatoprotective & antioxidant activities in CCl4 (1 ml/kg bw) induced hepatic damage in rats.
