Various species of the genera Hyssopus, Leonurus, Mentha, Nepeta, Origanum, Perovskia, Phlomis, Salvia, Scutellaria, and Ziziphora are widespread throughout the world, are the most popular plants in Uzbek traditional remedies, and are often used for the treatment of wounds, gastritis, infections, dermatitis, bronchitis, and inflammation. Extensive studies of the chemical components of these plants have led to the identification of many compounds, as well as essentials oils, with medicinal and other commercial values. The purpose of this review is to provide a critical overview of the literature surrounding the traditional uses, ethnopharmacology, biological activities, and essential oils composition of aromatic plants of the family Lamiaceae, from the Uzbek flora.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicines4010008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]],"date-time":"2017-02-10T05:27:09Z","timestamp":1486704429000},"page":"8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":101,"title":["Aromatic Medicinal Plants of the Lamiaceae Family from Uzbekistan: Ethnopharmacology, Essential Oils Composition, and Biological Activities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1756-3638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nilufar","family":"Mamadalieva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Chemistry of Glycosides, Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances AS RUz, Tashkent 100170, Uzbekistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Davlat","family":"Akramov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Chemistry of Glycosides, Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances AS RUz, Tashkent 100170, Uzbekistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8876-6331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisa","family":"Ovidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for the Innovation in Biological, Agro-food and Forestal Systems, Tuscia University, Viterbo 01100, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Tiezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for the Innovation in Biological, Agro-food and Forestal Systems, Tuscia University, Viterbo 01100, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lutfun","family":"Nahar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shahnoz","family":"Azimova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Chemistry of Glycosides, Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances AS RUz, Tashkent 100170, Uzbekistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satyajit","family":"Sarker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.7320\/FlMedit24.025","article-title":"New records for Fabaceae in the flora of Uzbekistan","volume":"24","author":"Tojibaev","year":"2014","journal-title":"Fl.
