Abstract
Aster tataricus L.f. (family: Asteraceae) is an important medicinal plant that had been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries. This plant is used in treating asthma, tuberculosis, and bronchitis-related disease to relieve the cough. The main aim of this book chapter is to collect and critically analyze the available information and updates on chemical constituents and medicinal properties of A. tataricus. The scientific information was collected from different online database such as Scopus, SciFinder, PubMed, Google Scholar, and books. The active phytochemicals were peptides, flavonoids, phenols, coumarins, etc. These phytochemicals possess different biological activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-asthma, and antidiabetic. Only a few studies have been performed to report the pharmacological activities; however, detail mechanism of action and its clinical significance are yet to be studied. Future study should focus on clinical evaluation of isolated compounds to justify its traditional uses and development of therapeutics.
