1. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Amoxicillin-Clavulinic-like, Ampicilline-like, Vancomycine-like, Lincomycine-like, Gentamicine-like, Streptomycine-like, Tetracycline-like.
   Selon Hassan A (2020) : coli, Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella Enteritidis & Mycoplasma gallisepticum using standard agar disc diffusion technique & minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). coli, Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella Enteritidis & Mycoplasma,. Selon HEMEG HA (2020) : cereus, Salmonella Enteritidis & Mycoplasma gallisepticum using standard agar disc diffusion technique & minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).
2. Inflammation : Plant part used: Aerial Parts. Documented pharmacological profile: Indometacine-like.
   Selon Alcantara Nogueira de Melo G (2012) : In the carrageenan-induced pleurisy test, SE did not reduce the exudate volume & leukocyte migration to the pleura, but SE exerted a topical anti-inflammatory effect by significantly inhibiting croton oil-induced ear edema. Our data demonstrated that SO has anti-inflammatory activity. Selon Bodnár K (2025) : The present study focused on the formulation & evaluation of novel topical systems containing Salvia officinalis (sage), emphasizing their antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Inflammatory conditions : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Diclofénac-like, Dexamethasone-like, Acide salicylique-like, Celecoxib-like.
