| Description |
. Sesquiterpenes lactones (SLs) have been isolated from
numerous genera of the family Asteraceae (compositae) and can
also be found in other angiosperm families. They are described as
the active constituents of a variety of medicinal plants used in
traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
They are known to possess wide variety of biological and
pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antiinflammatory,
antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal activities, effects
on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems as well as
allergenic potency. Their wide structural diversity and potential
biological activities have made further interest among the chemists.
The present chapter will be highlighted on the recent developments
on the SLs and their diverse biological activities.
