A study analyzed plant extracts from basil, lavender, and tarragon, evaluating their chemical composition and bioactivities, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The results showed that basil leaf extract is rich in phenolic compounds and exhibits good bioactivity.

Rich in Natural Phenolic Compounds

The study identified 17 phenolic compounds in basil extract, with rosmarinic acid being the main active ingredient. Rosmarinic acid has high antioxidant activity and has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-aging bioactivities.

Antibacterial Activity

Basil leaf extract showed good inhibitory effects against various common pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes, and also exhibited strong inhibitory activity against various fungi.

Antioxidant Capacity

Basil leaf extract possesses significant antioxidant activity, helping to scavenge free radicals, slow lipid oxidation, and provide some oxidative protection to cells.

Anti-inflammatory potential

Studies have found that basil extract can effectively inhibit the production of the inflammatory mediator **nitric oxide (NO)**, and basil extracts obtained by different extraction methods all exhibited certain inhibitory activity.

Chemical profiles and bioactivities of polyphenolic extracts of Lavandula stoechas L., Artemisia dracunculus L. and Ocimum basilicum L. Food Chem. 2024 Sep 1;451:139308. doi: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139308. Epub 2024 Apr 15. PMID: 38688095.

A clinical trial evaluated the effects of Ocimum Basilicum Extract on sleep quality in menopausal women. Sixty menopausal women aged 40–65 years participated. The intervention group took one capsule containing 250 mg of basil leaf extract one hour before bedtime daily for one month, while the control group received a placebo.

The study found that basil leaf extract significantly improved sleep quality in subjects after 2 weeks and 1 month compared to placebo:

After 2 weeks and 1 month of intervention, the sleep quality scores (0-21 points, with scores above 5 indicating poor sleep quality) in the basil group were significantly lower than those in the placebo group, indicating a significant improvement in overall sleep quality. The insomnia scores (0-21 points, with scores of 0-7 for those without insomnia) in the basil group significantly decreased, and multiple insomnia indicators improved. The effect was even more pronounced after 1 month of continued intervention. No serious adverse reactions were observed throughout the study.

Possible Mechanism of Action

The study suggests that the sleep-improving effect of basil leaf extract may be related to its high content of rosmarinic acid and other phenolic compounds. Rosmarinic acid can inhibit GABA transaminase activity, enhance the effects of GABA neurotransmitter, and exert a sedative and sleep-promoting effect.

Conclusion

This clinical trial demonstrates that daily supplementation with 250 mg of basil leaf extract for 4 weeks can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia severity in menopausal women, with good safety and tolerability. This provides a research basis for the application of basil leaf extract in sleep health and mood management related products.
