Relevance. Filipendulous yarrow (Achillea filipendulina Lam.)
is a perennial herbaceous plant
widely distributed in Central and Southwest Asia. Plants of the
Achillea
genus have traditionally been
used in folk and modern medicine due to their high content of biologically active compounds. Of
particular interest is the essential oil of
A. filipendulina
, which exhibits antibacterial, antimicrobial,
antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite the widespread use of the
Achillea
genus, the
essential oil of
A. filipendulina
remains insufficiently studied, which determines the relevance of its
investigation.
Objective of the study:
To conduct a literature review on the composition and pharmacological
potential of the essential oil of
Achillea filipendulina,
as well as to outline the prospects for its
application in medicine and pharmacy.
Materials and methods:
The work is based on the analysis of published studies on the
phytochemical composition and biological activity of the essential oil of
Achillea filipendulina.
The
following publications served as the main sources: In the study by S. Asnaashari et al., results were
presented demonstrating the wide range of biological activities of
A. filipendulina
essential oil. The
authors identified pronounced antioxidant and antimalarial properties; in addition, the oil showed
inhibitory activity against the enzyme xanthine oxidase, highlighting the prospects for further
pharmacological investigation of the plant. The review by A.A. Manassova et al. summarized data
on the use of
Achillea
species in traditional medicine. It was established that yarrow has traditionally
been applied in ethnopharmaceutical practice as an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant
agent. A study by the Iranian author N. Salehi was devoted to a detailed analysis of the chemical
profile of essential oils obtained from different plant organs (stems, leaves, flowers). The results
showed that the oils are characterized by a high content of monoterpenes, while the proportion of
sesquiterpenes was significantly lower, confirming the leading role of monoterpene compounds in
shaping the phytochemical profile. Thus, the analysis of data from different authors made it possible
to combine information on the chemical composition, biological activity, and traditional use of
A.
filipendulina
, providing a more comprehensive understanding of its pharmacological potential.
Results:
According to the literature, the essential oil of
Achillea filipendulina
contains a
significant amount of terpene compounds (mono- and sesquiterpenes) with antioxidant and
antimicrobial activity. Promising directions for the use of the oil as a natural source of substances
with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects have been identified.
Conclusion:
The essential oil of filipendulous yarrow is a promising subject for further
research. Its chemical composition and pharmacological potential make it a valuable source of
biologically active compounds of practical importance for medicine and pharmacy.This study was
carried out within the framework of the intramural grant of Asfendiyarov KazNMU “Development
