Abstract. Jurinea dolomiaea is a plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to alpine
regions in Myanmar, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. It contains a variety of bioactive compounds
such as sesquiterpene lactones, sterols, triterpenoids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides,
steroids, phenolic compounds, fixed oils, fats, terpenes, and lignans.
Traditionally, this plant has been used in herbal medicine for its aphrodisiac properties and for
treating rheumatism, fever, colic, gout, and puerperal fever. It is also used in the incense industry
and as an insect repellent due to its pleasant aroma.
Pharmacological studies have shown that J. dolomiaea has antileishmanial, antioxidant,
antibacterial, antimalarial, analgesic, and hepatoprotective properties. It also has potential benefits
for reproductive health and may help protect DNA. In addition, silver nanoparticles synthesized
from J. dolomiaea have significant pharmacological potential. Moreover, its phytochemicals have
analgesic, antinociceptive, anxiolytic, sedative, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial,
lipid-regulating, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, wound-healing, respiratory-protective,
antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects.
