Abstract
Jurinea macrocephala Benth (family: Asteraceae) belongs to the Himalayan region. It has recently drawn a lot of attention as a consequence of how widely it is used in conventional medicine. The present review reported the database on Jurinea macrocephala, searched from Medline/Pubmed, Scopus and the Web of Science and the +online service E-library.ru and SCImago. The review provides a baseline data source for numerous academics working on various research areas and policymakers. In India, more than 200 varieties of the herb Jurinea macrocephala are used for medicinal purposes. Jurinea macrocephala has antioxidant, antibacterial, anticholinesterase, antimalarial and cytotoxic properties. The objective of this review is based on the critical evaluation of secondary data on the species ecology, distribution, trade, pharmacology, phytochemical screening, conservation status and cultivation practices of the past and current work of the Jurinea macrocephala. Subsequently, the species required immediate conservation strategies for the preservation and cultivation of this economically important pharmaceutical herb.
