: Conventional drugs as a means of alternative medicines have been in use in Asian and African nations and some developed countries for the treatment of ailment and curing of diseases. Objective: Puerarin a naturally occurring isoflavone in numerous plants is one of the conventional medications that possess anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties for the treatment of cardiac illnesses, osteonecrosis, Parkinson’s ailments, Alzheimer’s disorders, and other circulatory and cardiac conditions. Puerarin is extensively distributed in numerous organs comprising the kidney, mammary gland, femur, tibia, stomach, liver, pancreas, brain, and lungs but at a low rate because of its poor availability. However, when co-administered with compounds like gastrodin that can covey it into the cell, it shows a wide range of pharmacological properties including antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-Alzheimer, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activity. The biotransformation process of puerarin showed that is well metabolized with daidzein being the main hydrolyzed product. Puerarin is well tolerated in the body and dosage of up to 250 mg/kg per day does not initiate any toxic side effect but rather sows a wide range of its beneficial and pharmacological properties.

The review summarizes information from the literature on the distribution, study of the composition and biological activity of metabolites, total extracts of plants of the genus Arctium L. of the world flora. In Russia, the roots of three species are allowed to be harvested and used: A. lappa, A. tomentosum, A. minus. To date, the most studied composition of metabolites and pharmacological properties of great burdock. The chemical composition of A. atlanticum, A. debrayi, A. leiobardanum, A. neumani, A. platylepis, A. pseudarctium, A. sardaimionense, A. scanicum, A. nemorosum and A. palladini has not been studied. About 360 substances related to polysaccharides, sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, fatty acids, phenolcarbonic acids, tannins, vitamins, lignans, sterols, polyacetylenes, amino acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, macro-and microelements and other were isolated and identified from the studied species. There are only a few publications about pharmacological activity of Arctium nemorosum, A. palladini, A. tomentosum and A. minus, and there is no information for other types. Total extracts and individual compounds of the studied burdock species in the experiment have a wide range of pharmacological activity. The information provided in the review shows that plants of the genus Arctium L., are promising for creating effective medicines. In addition, the fragmentation and lack of information on the composition of metabolites, pharmacological activity of most species of the genus burdock opens up great opportunities for researchers.
