Abstract

Nature has always been a wonderful supply of therapeutic substances, providing us with a range of medicinal plants that produce helpful phytochemicals. The native species of the genus Echinacea, which are found in North America and are well-known among medicinal plants, are members of the Asteraceae family. Though there are nine different species of echinacea, only three Echinacea angustifolia DC, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, and Echinacea pallida (Nutt.)-are utilized as medicinal herbs with a variety of therapeutic uses. Contrary to other plant families, the Asteraceae family of plants is one of the most well-known and renowned, and as a result, many of its members have been employed for therapeutic purposes. The availability of substances with a variety of medicinal characteristics is to blame for this. This review has included the investigation of the morphological traits, ethnopharmacology, and diverse pharmacological properties of the Echinacea genus. The chemistry of the genus is extensively understood, and various chemical component groups-including alkamides and caffeic acid derivatives-are believed to be crucial for activity.

紫锥菊属植物化学、民族植物学和全球研究综述

摘要:大自然一直是一个奇妙的治疗物质供应，为我们提供了一系列产生有益植物化学物质的药用植物。紫锥菊属的本地物种，发现于北美，是著名的药用植物，是菊科的成员。紫锥菊虽然有9个不同的种类，但只有3种紫锥菊(echinacea angustifolia DC)、紫锥菊(echinacea purpurea L.)。紫锥菊和紫锥菊(Nutt.)-被用作各种治疗用途的草药。与其他植物家族相反，菊科植物家族是最知名和最著名的植物之一，因此，它的许多成员已被用于治疗目的。具有各种药用特性的物质的可获得性是造成这种情况的原因。本文综述了紫锥菊属植物的形态特征、民族药理学和多种药理特性的研究进展。该属的化学成分已被广泛了解，各种化学成分群——包括烷酰胺和咖啡酸衍生物——被认为对活性至关重要。
