| Abstract | ||||
| Artemisia annua is an aromatic plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, found around Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. The World Health Organization has recommended A. annua as an antimalarial drug. Numerous phytochemical classes, such as phenolics, flavonoids, steroids, coumarins, triterpenoids, monoterpenoids, lipids, aliphatic compounds, lignans, as well as fatty acids, have been found through phytochemical investigation. The plant was chosen due to a well-researched biological study that revealed it to have antimalarial, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and immunosuppressive activity. This review focuses on the phytochemical components of this significant and beneficial plant, as well as the various promising biological activities that make the plant a good candidate for developing pharmaceutical products. Definitively, the plant extract of A. annua is a good source of health-promoting aspects that can be employed for curative and nutritional purposes. However, more research on the active chemicals of this plant is needed to optimize their medicinal and nutritional potential | ||||
