Biological Effects of Arctiin from Some Medicinal Plants of Asteraceae Family
Arctiin is a lignan found in many plants of the Asteraceae family that have had various biomedical applications for many years. Arctiin possesses various biological features such as antiinflammatory, antioxidative, antiproliferative, and antitumor effects. The present review will discuss reports on biological activities of arctiin from 1984 onwards.
