Modeling the distributions of species, especially of invasive species in non-native ranges, involves multiple challenges. Here, we developed some novel approaches to species distribution modeling aimed at reducing the influences of such challenges and improving the realism of projections. We estimated species-environment relationships for Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) with four model...

Background and aim: Tanacetum parthenium L. is herbaceous perennial medicinal plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Feverfew is used as an analgesic, housing, fever-lowering, anti-rheumatism and migraines in traditional medicine. The most important active ingredient of the herb is essential oil. Variation on genetic and environmental conditions play a major role in...

Parthenolide, the principal component of sesquiterpene lactones present in medical plants such as feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), has been reported to have anti-tumor activity. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of parthenolide against bladder cancer and its mechanism of action. Treatment of bladder cancer cells with parthenolide resulted in a significant decrease in cell vi...

tanacetum parthenium l. known as feverfew is a medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens. it has been used in folk medicine for reducing fever. feverfew is a member of the daisy family; it is used primarily to prevent migraine headaches and to treat rheumatoid arthritis.it hasa colorless essential oil that contains one or more of the sesquiterpene lactones as active principle. tanasetum...

Parthenolide is a major sesquiterpene lactone derived from feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) with known anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, the anticancer potential of this compound was suggested. In this study, we determined the effect of parthenolide on proliferation of three human cancer cell lines: human lung carcinoma (A549), human medulloblastoma (TE671), human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29...
