Feverfew Parthenium

The purple coneflower Echinacea purpura, and its close relatives, E. angustifolia and E. pallida, are the source of the herb Echinacea, which is widely popular as a nonspecific immune stimulant. These perennials are native to the prairies of North America and are now widely grown garden ornamentals. The root and aerial parts of the plant are the portions used, and the preparation s potency can be verified by the transient tingling sensation produced when it is tasted. Echinacea contains alkamides, caffeic acid esters (echinacoside, cichoric acid, caftaric acid), polysaccharides (heteroxylan), and an essential oil. Some echinacea products are standardized for their echinacoside content. In the past, adulteration with American feverfew (Parthenium integri-folium) was common. Echinacea is now sold either by itself or in combination with golden seal or zinc for the treatment of colds and influenza. [Pg.787]

Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Schultz Bip. is the official Latin name for the member of the Compositae family which is more commonly referred to as feverfew [6]. The plant had previously been classified as Chrysanthemum parthenium (L.) Bernh., so the latter name is strictly speaking no longer correct. Other old classifications for feverfew are Leucanthemum parthenium (L.) Gren. Godron or Pyrethrum parthenium (L.) Sm. [Pg.220]

More than 11,000 Sesquiterpenes have been isolated from natural sources [3]. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch. Bip.,. Compositae) is a common herb utilized for fever, arthritis and migraine. The leaves of feverfew contain large amounts of sesquiterpene lactones. The chloroform extracts of fresh leaves and a commercial leaf product show dose-dependent inhibiting the production of throboxane B2 (TXB2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in rat and human leukocytes. Sesquiterpene lactones isolated from the leaves of feverfew, such as parthenolide and tanaparthin-a-peroxide, demonstrate potent dual inhibitions of COX and LOX pathways with IC50 for COX at 6 17 pg/ml, and for LOX at 12 17 pg/ml, respectively [135],... [Pg.686]

As Tanacetum parthenium is rich in allergenic sesquiterpene lactones, such as parthenolide, it is not surprising that contact dermatitis has been observed (SEDA-11, 426). The most common adverse effect of oral feverfew is mouth ulceration. A more widespread inflammation of the oral mucosa and tongue, swelhng of the lips, and loss of taste have also been reported. [Pg.364]
