Özet
Objective: This study summarizes some scientific studies conducted on the chemical contents and biological activities of the Alkanna genus, which is thought to be medically important and has various traditional uses among the public. Result and Discussion: Alkanna spp. have been used among the public since ancient times for the treatment of dermatological disorders, jaundice, kidney stones and for its wound healing, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic and astringent effects. It has been observed that there are important biological activity studies on the chemical contents and active ingredients of Alkanna spp. and effective results have been obtained. According to the literatüre data, the Alkanna spp. may be an important candidate for drug development potential in the future.
