Abstrakt
Melisa lekarska (Melissa officinalis L.) z rodziny jasnotowatych (Lamiaceae), pochodzi z rejonu Morza Śródziemnego, a w stanie naturalnym występuje we wschodniej jego części, jako zdziczała z upraw w Europie, oraz w umiarkowanych strefach Azji i Ameryki. Surowcem zielarskim jest liść melisy (Melissae folium), a główną substancją biologicznie aktywną – olejek eteryczny, występujący w wysuszonym surowcu w ilości 0,02–0,30%. Składnikami dominującymi olejku melisowego są: cytral (geranial i neral), cytronelal, geraniol, β-pinen, α-pinen i β-kariofilen. Liść melisy jest zasobny także w inne substancje biologicznie aktywne, takie jak garbniki, gorycze, flawonoidy, kwasy fenolowe, chlorofil i karotenoidy, związki triterpenowe oraz związki mineralne. Ekstrakty z surowca melisy oraz olejek eteryczny wykazują aktywność przeciwdrobnoustrojową, antyoksydacyjną, ponadto działają uspokajająco i przeciwdepresyjnie. Biosynteza olejku eterycznego melisy pozostaje pod wyraźnym wpływem czynników genetycznych, ale podlega także czynnikom środowiskowym, natomiast kompozycja jakościowa jest relatywnie stała. Aktywność antyoksydacyjna olejku jest najprawdopodobniej związana z obecnością składników dominujących. Zawartość związków fenolowych, flawonoidów oraz α-tokoferolu i β-karotenu w surowcu melisy potęguje jego aktywność przeciwutleniającą.
