Despite their efficacy, concerns over their safety and toxicity have led to increased interest in alternative preservatives. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis of parabens, their properties, and applications. We discuss the different methods of paraben synthesis, including chemical and enzymatic approaches. The review also covers the use of parabens as preservatives in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. Furthermore, we examine the safety and toxicity concerns associated with parabens and discuss alternative preservatives that are being developed. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of parabens and their applications, as well as the current state of research on alternative preservatives.</p> Haseeb SD Asma Parveen S Prapurna Chandra Y Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-02-15 2025-02-15 1 5 10.46956/ijihd.v10i1.656 https://saapjournals.org/index.php/herbsanddrugs/article/view/674 <p>Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew) is a traditional medicinal herb widely used for its therapeutic properties, particularly in the prevention and management of migraines. This review explores the botanical characteristics, phytochemical composition, pharmacological activities, and therapeutic applications of T. parthenium. Its bioactive compounds, parthenolide, exhibit potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, making it a promising agent for managing a variety of chronic conditions, including arthritis, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The mechanisms of action involve modulation of inflammatory pathways, inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, and reduction of oxidative stress. Despite its potential, challenges such as variability in chemical composition, safety concerns, and limited clinical trials hinder its integration into mainstream medicine. Future research should focus on standardizing formulations, conducting clinical trials, and exploring novel therapeutic applications. This review underscores the importance of T. parthenium as a versatile herbal remedy with significant potential in modern healthcare, provided its limitations are addressed.</p> Nithin Bandi Revathi Sarvepalli Penabaka Venugopalaiah Prapurna Chandra Y Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-03-17 2025-03-17 7 13 10.46956/ijihd.v10i1.674
