Euphorbia helioscopia: Past, Present and Future Prospects | Chapter 6 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 5

 The Euphorbia is the best genus in the plant offspring Euphorbiaceae, comprising about 300 genera and 2,000 famous species. All class of Euphorbia are characterized by cyathium flower and the production of a white tinted covering that is rich in subordinate metabolites especially terpenoids being the reason for diverse biological projects. Sun spurge (Euphorbia helioscopia L., Euphorbiacae family) is an annual plant, owned by most of northern Africa, Europe, and concerning the direction to the east through most of Asia.

A literature review about this plant granted various types of biological exercises such as antitumor, antiviral, completely clean, nematicidal, antifungal, molluscicidal effects, etc. The attendance of secondary metabolites revealed that the intentional plant Euphorbia helioscopia can be secondhand in the future for verdict various biological potential.
