A systematic review on the ethnobotany, essential oils, bioactive compounds, and biological activities of Tanacetum species

This review paper was designed in order to compile the chemical profiles of the essential oils (EOs) of a wide spectrum of Tanacetum species as well as to unify the data available in the literature concerning different aspects of this genus in ethnobotany of different countries worldwide. Biological activities and other bioactive compounds were presented, as well. In this regard, the literature and reliable scientific databases involving Scopus, Pubmed as well as all of the famous publishers involving Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis, etc were systematically reviewed. As shown in this review, a variety of promising ethnobotanical and biological activities and properties have been reported for different species of this genus so far. In addition, a number of valuable bioactive compounds have been separated and characterized in different Tanacetum species.
