Phytochemical investigation of Tanacetum parthenium L. family Asteraceae cultivated in Egypt resulted in isolation and identification of four flavonoids. One surface flavonoid was isolated from the fresh leaves and three other flavonoids were isolated from the flower heads. Four sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves. Two sterols were isolated from the roots. A comparative study o...

Background and aim: Tanacetum parthenium L. is herbaceous perennial medicinal plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Feverfew is used as an analgesic, housing, fever-lowering, anti-rheumatism and migraines in traditional medicine. The most important active ingredient of the herb is essential oil. Variation on genetic and environmental conditions play a major role in...

The lipophilic ̄avonoids in leaf and ̄ower of Tanacetum parthenium and T. vulgaris have been compared. While those of T. parthenium are methyl ethers of the ̄avonols 6-hydroxykaempferol and quercetagetin, the surface ̄avonoids of T. vulgare are methyl ethers of the ̄avones scutellarein and 6-hydroxyluteolin. Apigenin and two ̄avone glucuronides are surprisingly present in glandular trichomes on...

INTRODUCTION Tanacetum sonbolii (Asteraceae) is an endemic species in Iran. In the present study, we examined the effects of Tanacetum sonbolii hydroalcoholic extract on the formalin test in mice. METHODS 126 Swiss albino mice weighing 230-280g were used as subjects. The formalin test was performed on two control groups (marked as intact and saline groups; n = 6 in each group) and an experime...

Globally, there are a number of treatments indicated for the control of invasive alien plant species like parthenium. The production and use of vermicomposts from weeds or other wastes in agriculture is economical and eco-friendly. The unique advantage of using vermicomposting is that it helps to build and sustain soil condition and fertility for sustainable agricultural activities. The present...

Parthenium density and species richness were found to be more in non-invaded (N-I) sites as compared to invaded (I) sites of Jaunpur district. pH, OC and %N of the soil indicates that the plant survive naturally at higher level of salinity. In pot experiment, plant growth, proline content, TSS content, chlorophyll, N, P and K was not significantly affected up to 1% NaCl (w/w) over the control a...
