| Nature has always contained a plenty of biologically active substances in nature. The Asteraceae family is diverse, with 1900 genera and 32,000 species of plants, including trees, shrubs, and herbs. Asteraceae plants are commonly used as treatments in traditional medicine. They have been used to treat a range of illnesses as antibacterial, anticholesterolemic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory medicines. The artichoke, or Cynara scolymus L., is a classic vegetable in many cultures. This plant has recently been successfully grown in Egypt. The purpose of this research is to fully understand the phytochemical composition of C. scolymus L. The finding shows that plant parts include bioactive components such as flavonoids, total phenolic compounds, saponins, sesquiterpene glycosides and fatty acids. These phytochemicals' existence is connected to this plant's potential as a medicine. Such review affords plenary inspection of the total secondary metabolites isolated from the Cynara scolymus L until now, besides their parts of the plant. | ||||
