Towards a better understanding of Artemisia vulgaris: Botany, phytochemistry, pharmacological and biotechnological potential
Abstract
Artemisia vulgaris has a long history in the treatment of human ailments and possesses a broad spectrum of therapeutic properties including anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, antioxidant, anti-tumoral, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, anti-spasmodic and anti-septic activities. These are mainly attributed to flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, coumarins, acetylenes, phenolic acids and mono- and sesquiterpenes. The review highlights recent reports on the chemistry, biological activities and biotechnological production of bioactive compounds from this species.
