Abstract

Prangos ferulacea (Jashir) is one of the most popular herbs in Iran, Mediterranean, and Middle East countries which is traditionally used for several medicinal purposes such as digestive disorders, neurological disorders and cough. Present study is a review on phytochemical components and phytopharmacological properties of Prangos ferulacea. This study reviews the taxonomical, phytochemical, and phytopharmacological properties of Jashir. The results of conducted studies were achieved, evaluated and compared with each others. Results indicated that P. ferulacea contains natural bioactive products such as coumarins, flavonoids, their glycosides, and volatile terpenoids from essential oils. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies showed that P. ferulacea has important medicinal effects including antioxidant, antimicrobial, pain killer, anti-spasmodic, and antidiabetic activities. Results of this work could shed light on future phytochemical, pharmacological, and also clinical studies based on P. ferulacea formulations.
