                            <p>Amaç: Bu çalışmada, tıbbi açıdan önemli olduğu düşünülen ve halk arasında çeşitli geleneksel kullanımları bulunan Alkanna cinsinin kimyasal içerikleri ve biyolojik aktiviteleri üzerine yapılan bazı bilimsel çalışmalar özetlenmiştir.Sonuç ve Tartışma: Alkanna türleri halk arasında eski çağlardan beri dermatolojik rahatsızlıklar, sarılık, böbrek taşı tedavisi ve yara iyileştirici, antinosiseptif, antiinflamatuar, antibakteriyel, antiseptik ve büzücü etkileri nedeniyle kullanılmaktadır. Alkanna türlerinin kimyasal içerikleri ve aktif bileşenleri üzerinde önemli biyolojik aktivite çalışmaları yapıldığı ve etkili sonuçlar elde edildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Literatür verilerine göre, Alkanna türleri gelecekte ilaç geliştirme potansiyeli için önemli bir aday olabilir.</p></trans-abstract>

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.</p></abstract>
