Tanacetin is a natural compound found in plants like Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew) and is known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been traditionally used to treat conditions such as migraines, arthritis, and fever. Tanacetin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body involved in inflammation and pain signaling. Its mechanisms are thought to involve interference with cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing pain and inflammation at the site of injury or discomfort.
