"Biomedical applications of Inula species", XX Encontro Luso-Galego de Química, Porto-PT, 26 a 28 de novembro de 2014, pág. 345.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.3/4161XX Encontro Luso-Galego de Química no Porto, Portugal, 26 a 28 de novembro de 2014, Complexo FFUP/ICBAS.The vast genus Inula includes species used in traditional medicine, for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, diabetes, hypertension, and also as bactericides, among other applications. Some corroboration of these ethnopharmacological applications was attempted, for instance crude extracts activity has been evaluated and the main bioactive secondary metabolites have been identified as sesquiterpene lactones. The reported activities include anti-tumour/cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activity just to mention a few. […].engInulaBiomedical effectsconference object
