Biological Review on Different parts of Cynara scolymus L.

Abstract

Biologically active materials have always been abundant in nature. The discovery of natural remedies can come from a variety of sources, including microorganisms, terrestrial plants, terrestrial invertebrates and vertebrates, and saltwater macro-and microorganisms. Historically, investigations on drug development have identified medicinal plants as a valuable source of bioactive chemicals. With 1900 genera and 32,000 species, including trees, shrubs, and herbs, the Asteraceae family is varied. Plants from the Asteraceae family are frequently utilized in traditional medicine as remedies. As antibacterial, anticholesterolemic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agents, they have been utilized to treat a variety of ailments. Therefore, several phytochemical studies were conducted to screen these genus plants, and this research identified several chemical compounds from diverse chemical classes, including fatty acids, flavonoids, triterpenes, sesquiterpene glycosides, phenolic acids, and sesquiterpene lactones. The most relevant prior biological research of several species in the genus Cynara scolymus L. are included in this study.
