Abstract

Halk arasında karahindiba olarak bilinen Taraxacum officinale F.H.Wigg., dünya genelinde geniş bir yayılıma sahip olan ve bahçelerde, çimenlik alanlarda ve yol kenarlarında kolaylıkla yetişebilen bir bitkidir. Bu makale, kolay erişilebilir bu bitkinin farmakolojik özellikleri ve fitokimyasal bileşimi üzerine yapılan çalışmaları derlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Karahindiba, sindirim ve karaciğer fonksiyonlarını destekleyerek gastrointestinal faydaları ile dünya genelinde tanınmakta ve birçok farmakolojik aktiviteye sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu aktiviteler, zengin fitokimyasal profiline dayandırılmaktadır. Farklı bileşenlere sahip olan bu bitkinin birincil etkileri genellikle taraksol, tarakserol ve seskiterpen laktonlar gibi bileşiklerle ilişkilendirilmektedir.
Ayrıca, karahindiba kökleri inülin açısından zengindir ve bu durum, bitkinin günlük yaşamda çeşitli uygulamalar için çok yönlü olmasını sağlamaktadır. Bilimsel literatürde, karahindibanın insanlar üzerinde toksisite veya ciddi yan etki raporlarına rastlanmamaktadır. Kolay yetiştirilebilmesi, zengin fitokimyasal içeriğinden kaynaklanan çeşitli farmakolojik aktiviteleri ve düşük toksisite profili nedeniyle karahindibanın potansiyel değeri artmaktadır.

Abstract

Taraxacum officinale F.H.Wigg. commonly known as the dandelion, is a plant that is widely distributed across the globe and can easily thrive in gardens, lawns, and along roadways. This paper aims to compile studies on this readily available plant's pharmacological properties and phytochemical composition. Dandelion is recognized worldwide for its gastrointestinal benefits, supporting digestion and liver functions, and it is known to possess numerous pharmacological activities. These activities are attributed to its rich phytochemical profile. The primary effects of plants with varied components are typically linked to compounds such as taraxol, taraxerol, and sesquiterpene lactones.
Furthermore, dandelion roots are rich in inulin, making the plant versatile for various applications in daily life. The scientific literature shows no reports of dandelion toxicity or serious adverse effects in humans. The potential value of dandelion increases due to its ease of cultivation, diverse pharmacological activities stemming from its rich phytochemical content, and low toxicity profile.
