Helianthus annuus L.: Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Activities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Medicinal Plants of the Asteraceae Family

Abstract

The Asteraceae (formerly Compositae) family contains approximately 1600 genera, many of which are known for their phytochemistry and pharmacological properties. Helianthus annuus is one of the most important plants in this family, known for producing oil and playing an important role in the economies of countries. This plant’s traditional uses date back more than 3000 years. The plants are ethnomedicinally significant and contain a variety of alkaloids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, fixed oils, steroids, amino acids, and other compounds. An important point to emphasize in this book chapter is that plants are highly adaptable to various environmental conditions, making them easier to cultivate and yielding higher yields. There is a substantial literature on the plant, but as research-based knowledge grows, it must be updated, so we will attempt to update this plant’s information in terms of its traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacology properties; the pharmacological properties of H. annuus were investigated using a variety of sources, including medicinal plant databases, ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological books, and peer-reviewed papers. This book chapter delves deeply into the chemical, nutritional, and pharmacological properties of H. annuus.
