Bot.name: Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium,Tanacetum cinerariifolium
Cashmerian name: Kartik posh
Other names: Dalmation Pellitory, Pyrethrum, Pyrethrum daisy,
Family: Compositae
Chemical constituents: The
pyrethrins are a pair of natural organic compounds normally
derived from
Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium that have potent insecticidal activity.
Pyrethrins are neurotoxins that attack the nervous systems of all
insects. When present in amounts not fatal to insects, they still appear
to have an insect repellent effect. Pyrethrins are gradually replacing
organophosphates and organochlorides as the pesticide of first choice.
They are non-persistent, being biodegradable, and break down on exposure
to light or oxygen. The chemical structure of pyrethrins inspired the
production of a variety of synthetic insecticides called pyrethroids
such as bifenthrin, permethrin, and cypermethrin.
Six compounds were isolated and identified as: linoeic acid, pinoresinol, (+)-pinoresinol-4'-O-beta-D- glucopyranoside, betulabuside A, dihydrosyringin.
Medicinal use of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium :
Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium is not used medicinally, though research
has shown that the flowers possess weak antibiotic activity. The flowers
are the main source of the insecticide pyrethrum, which is toxic to
insects but not to mammals. It has sometimes been used as a vermifuge in
China.
