The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of two N-fertilizer rates and plant density on herb yield and active substance of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium Cv.Zardband). The experiment was performed in a factorial trial, RCB design. Three rates of N-fertilizer (0.75 and 150 kg/ha) and plant densities of 10 and 20 cm were applied as treatments, with three replications. After perfo...

Parthenolide is major Sesquiterpene lactones present in Anthemis haussknechtii Boiss. & Reut. (feverfew). This compound has many effects on different disease such as migrain and cancer. Parthenolide was reported from Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip. but other plants of Asteraceae family could contain parthenolide. In this study parthenolide was extracted and identified with two methods, Fouri...

Background: Parthenolide is major sesquiterpene lactones present in Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch.Bip. (feverfew).  This compound is known as herbal active principals with potential use in pharmaceutical and medicine. In order to solubility improving, analogue of Parthenolide, aminopropyl theoxy silane -mesoporous silica of Parthenolide, was synthesized as well. In this study, it was e...

We investigated the possibility of use of Tanacetum vulgare (tansy) as an ecological indicator of metal concentration in a naturally colonized open-pit lignite mine in Bełchatów (Poland). Tanacetum vulgare is the only species growing abundantly and spontaneously in the lignite mine waste dumps. Metal concentrations in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and soil were measured in dump sites differing...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of acupuncture (AC), Tanacetum (TAN) or combined treatment on quality of life in women with chronic migraine (CM). METHODS A total of 69 women volunteers were randomly divided into 3 groups: AC, acupuncture administered in 20 sessions over 10 weeks (n=22); TAN, at 150 mg/day (n=23); and AC+TAN (n=23). The...

Understanding the patterns of genetic structure in the introduced range of invasive species can help elucidate invasion histories and levels of gene flow among populations. Parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus L.; PW) is native to the Gulf of Mexico and central South America but has become globally invasive during the last three decades and little is known about the genetics of this specie...

Phytochemical screening and Antifungal activities of Parthenium hysterophrous L (Asteraceae) was carried out in laboratory. Distilled water and methanol extracts of the leaves of plant was prepared. Five phytopathogenic fungi: Alternaria brassicae, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici and Sclerotium rolfsii were tested at different concentrations (50 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, 150 ...
