Elsholtzia rugulosa is a species of the family Lamiaceae, native to Asia, mainly Burma, Vietnam and China. E. rugulosa is known in China as a local herbal tea, medicinal herb for colds and fever, and honey plant.
Luteolin from Elsholtzia rugulosa has shown neuroprotective effects in an Alzheimer's disease cell model.[2] It contains flavonoid glycosides apigenin 4'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-5'-C-prenylflavone-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, among several others.[3] It is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[4] Apigenin and luteolin, compounds found in the plant, may help fight influenza virus (H3N2).[5]
