Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacology of Pyrethrum tatsienense (Bureau & amp; Franch.) Ling ex C. Shih: A comprehensive review
CONCLUSIONS: PTLCS is widely used as a Tibetan medicine, which has a variety of chemicals with diverse bioactivities. Therefore, further studies are necessary to perform on the PTLCS to assay biological activities, discover their bioactive constituents, and reveal pharmacological mechanisms. This review may supply an important theoretical basis and valuable reference for in-depth research and exploitations of PTLCS.PMID:36366841 | DOI:10.2174/1386207326666221108105221 (Source: Combinatorial Chemistry and High Throughput Screening)
