Polyunsaturated alkamides isolated from Achillea species, Echinacea angustifolia DC., Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) Link, and Aaronsohnia pubescens (Desf.) Bremer & Humphries, (Compositae) were shown to possess inhibitory activity in in vitro cyclooxygenase (sheep seminal microsomes) and 5-lipoxygenase (porcine leukocytes) assays. Activity appeared to depend on the particular structure of the alkamides.

Alleviatory efficacy of achillea millefolium L. in etoxazole-mediated toxicity in allium cepa L.
Sci Rep

Department of Herbal and Animal Production, Kırıkkale Vocational School, Kırıkkale University, Kırıkkale, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the harmful effects of the pesticide etoxazole on the plant Allium cepa (onion) and explores the protective role of Achillea millefolium (yarrow) extract against this toxicity.
- The research showed that etoxazole exposure significantly reduced growth metrics (like rooting percentage and root length) and increased harmful cellular changes, including chromosomal abnormalities.
- Molecular docking results indicated that etoxazole directly interacts with DNA and key proteins, while A. millefolium extract, rich in phenolic compounds, may mitigate some of the toxic effects caused by the pesticide.

Biofilm is a surface-attached community of bacterial cells implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic infections and is highly resistant to antibiotics. New alternatives for controlling bacterial infections have been proposed focusing on the therapeutic properties of medicinal plants. Achillea millefollium (Yarrow) is a widespread plant species that is widely used in traditional medicine, especially for wound healing.
