Türkçe adı “Emzik otu” olarak bilinen Onosma türleri, etnobotanik açıdan oldukça değerlidir. Bu çalışmada, Onosma nana’nın toprak üstü ve kök kısımlarının farklı çözücülerle (etanol, metanol ve etil asetat) elde edilen ekstrelerinin antioksidan, antimikrobiyal, enzim inhibisyon (α-amilaz, α-glukozidaz ve tirozidaz) ve DNA koruyucu aktivitesi ile fenolik bileşen analizinin (HPLC) yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, etanol ekstrelerinin diğer ekstrelere nazaran araştırılan özellikler bakımından daha etkin olduğu bulunmuştur. Etanol ekstrelerinin major fenolik bileşeni rosmarinik asit (kök: 2883.3 μg/g ekstre, toprak üstü: 11187.5 μg/g ekstre) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bitkinin oldukça etkili antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur (S. epidermidis ve P. vulgaris: MİK 32µg/mL). Bitkinin DNA koruyucu etkisi ve antimikrobiyal özellikleri ilk defa araştırılmıştır. Bitkinin doğal bir ajan olarak kullanılma potansiyeli olduğu söylenebilir. Bunun yanısıra, tespit edilen aktivitelerin detaylı çalışmalarla desteklenerek etki mekanizmalarının aydınlatılması ticari öneminin anlaşılması bakımından gereklidir.
... It is challenging to research the systematics of the unique genus Onosma (Koyuncu et al., 2013). The two studied Onosma varieties of the same species O. limitanea, differ clearly in palyno-anatomical traits. ...
... As demonstrated by the investigations on the genus Onosma, the information collected from palynological studies is sufficient to identify species. Koyuncu et al., (2013) identified a new Onosma species Onosma atilaocakii. The morphological identity of the new species was difficult from the closely related species O. roussaei and O. aucheriana. ...
... Similarly, while Chacón & al. (2019) included 257 Lithospermeae samples (180 species and 13 subspecies), their sampling of Onosma remained insufficient with only 64 newly sequenced samples (50 species and 4 subspecies). Furthermore, some recently described taxa (e.g., Onosma atila-ocakii O. Koyuncu & Yaylaci;Koyuncu & al. 2013) have never been included in a phylogenetic study, and their phylogenetic position remain unknown. In addition, it was reported that genus Onosma is not monophyletic, with the Eastern Asian genus Maharanga recovered as closely related to Eastern Asian Onosma, namely, O. rostellata Lehm., O. paniculata Bureau & Franch., O. hookeri C.B. Clarke, O. waltonii Duthie, O. sinicum and O. pyramidalis Hook.f. ...

Tribe Lithospermeae (Boraginaceae) consists of ca. 26 genera and 470 species, in which Onosma constitutes approximately one third of the species (~150). Although the tribe is strongly supported as monophyletic, both generic and species boundaries remain ambiguous. Among them, not only the phylogenetic position of Eastern Asian Onosma species, but also the taxonomic limits of the genus remain unclear. Whether Eastern Asian Onosma is monophyletic, or the genus should be widened to include Maharanga, and maybe Cystostemon, are still open questions. For these reasons, I performed 16 phylogenetic analyses with different taxon coverages, alignments, gene regions and outgroups, with up to 746 taxa of tribe Lithospermeae and with five DNA regions, using data from GenBank. The results, with the widest taxon coverage to date, show that while genus Onosma is not monophyletic in any of the analyses, the phylogenetic relationships among Onosma s.s., Eastern Asian Onosma, Maharanga and Cystostemon differ among analyses. However, the approximately unbiased (AU) test showed that the topology (((Eastern Asian Onosma+Maharanga) Cystostemon) Onosma s.s.) is overwhelmingly supported. Therefore, the current study highlights the importance of taxon, gene and outgroup sampling in Onosma phylogenetics.

Onosma species have been used commonly for traditional medicine for years due to their bioactive compounds content. Onosma bourgaei aerial part was extracted with hexane and methanol successively. The methanol extract was subjected to chromatographic techniques to isolate allantoin (1), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (2), luteolin-7-O-glucoside (3), apigenin-7-O-β-glucoside (4), diosmetin-7-O-β-glucoside (5), rosmarinic acid (6), and globoidnan A (7). The structure of isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic techniques such as 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, FTIR, and LC-TOF/MS/MS. Antiproliferative activity of extract and natural compounds were carried out using HeLa (human epithelial cervix adenocarcinoma, ATCC® CCL-2™), HT29 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma, ATCC® HTB38™), MCF7 (human mammary gland adenocarcinoma, ATCC® HTB22™), and A549 (human lung carcinoma, ATCC® CCL185™) cancerous cells and normal cells, FL (human epithelial amnion cell, ATCC® CCL62™). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was performed for cytotoxicity. The compounds, 4, 6, and 7 displayed the strong antiproliferative activity against corresponding cell lines. Apigenin-7-O-β-glucoside (4) revealed the excellent activity on HeLa, HT29, A549, and MCF6 cancer cell lines with the values of (IC50, µM) 167.3, 196.8 181.1, and 203.5, respectively, compared standard compound, cisplatin.

Onosma atrii and O. persica are described and illustrated as new species and O. caucasica Levin is recorded for the first time from northwestern Iran. The two new species are placed in subsect. Asterotricha (Boiss.) Gürke, because of the asterotrichous indumentum (stellate trichomes) of their basal leaves. An extensive review of the literature and comparison with specimens from various European and Asiatic herbaria led to the recognition of these novelties. Our argument for these innovations is based on observation of significant differences in taxonomically important morphological characters including trichome type, shape and size of basal and cauline leaves, shape and size of calyx and corolla, annulus hairs, anther length, connection type and degree of exsertion, and nutlet morphology. The diagnostic morphological characters of closely related species are discussed, and for each new species a detailed description and details of distribution and conservation status are provided. An updated synoptical key to the species known from the Flora Iranica region and Atropatene sub-province is provided.

It is known that Onosma species are frequently used in the treatment of various ailments such as bronchitis, strangury, leucoderma, abdominal pain and fever. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant, tyrosinase and α-amylase inhibitory activities of the MeOH extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Onosma aucheriana DC., O. frutescens Lam., and O. sericea Willd. Total phenolic/flavonoid and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC–ESI–MS/MS) analyzes were also performed to determine the chemical composition of the extracts. In antioxidant activity tests, except for ferrous ion chelating, the activity of O. frutescens was found to be significantly higher than the others. The antioxidant activity of this species in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and phosphomolybdenum tests were found to be 1.14, 1.04, 0.53, 0.35 and 1.18 mg/mL, respectively. The ferrous ion chelating assays resulted in the superiority of O. aucheriana [the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50): 2.57 mg/mL]. In tyrosinase and α-amylase inhibitory activity tests, it was found that the activity potentials of O. aucheriana and O. sericea extracts were quite close to each other. Tyrosinase and α-amylase inhibitory activity of O. aucheriana were determined as 2.19 and 2.51 mg/mL. Additionally, the IC50 values of O. sericea on the same enzymes were measured as 2.28 and 2.50 mg/mL. As a result of the spectrophotometric analysis, when compared with the others, it was understood that O. frutescens and O. sericea extracts were richer in phenolics and flavonoids, respectively. Chromatographic analyzes have shown that the extracts contain high amounts of rosmarinic acid, apigenin 7-glucoside, luteolin 7-glucoside, hesperidin, hyperoside, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.
