Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium)
is commonly used for the treatment of migraine headaches,
arthritis, and various type of
allergies. This herb is thought to exert its pharmacological activity by inhibiting
serotonin and histamine release, prostaglandin synthesis, and platelet release
and aggregation.
Several studies have shown
feverfew to interfere with hemostasis and platelet aggregation
by neutralizing platelet
sulfhydryl groups, as well as preventing prostaglandin synthesis. Parthenolide,
one of the many sesquiterpene
lactone constituents of feverfew extract, has been shown to
exert the greatest pharmacological activity.
