Abstract
Plants are natural products responsible for many biological activities. It is quite common to use plants that attract attention with their nutritive properties within the scope of complementary medicine. Matricaria species, which have naturally distributed, are among the plants used in traditional medicine. Revealing the biological activities of plants is very important in terms of their potential use. In this study, the usage areas, chemical contents and biological activities of Matricaria species reported in the literature were compiled. According to the findings, it was seen that it was used for health and cosmetic purposes. In addition, it has been observed that Matricaria species have biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer. It was observed that the dominant compounds from different Matricaria species were 1,5-Bis (dicyclohexylphosphino)-pentane (3.95-44.7%) and α-bisabolol (2.2-56.86%). According to the literature data, Matricaria species are an important natural resource. As a result, it is predicted that Matricaria species may be an important source in pharmacological studies.
