Mountain tea, Sideritis species, is a well-known traditional tisane [1]. Previous phytochemical studies have showed a broad range of nutrients and specialized products. Furthermore, several research works have investigated various pharmacological activities of these plants.

In continuation of our research in genus Sideritis [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8], we investigated S. euboea Heldr. which is found in Evia island (Greece). Given that S. euboea is considered as an endangered species, the present study explored the phytochemical profile and the biological activities of different extracts from cultivated populations of S. euboea. Overall, 47 chemical compounds were isolated and identified by using NMR methods [3] [4] [8]. The diterpenoid siderol exhibited great cytotoxic effects on three human cancer cell lines [4]. In addition, the anti-ageing activity of the ethyl-acetate residue and its specialized products were explored [8]. This study demonstrated that the cultivated S. euboea could be a potential agent for cosmetic formulations, confirming its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and anti-ageing effects.
