DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.19025 Turkey has a very rich flora and also many medicinal plants, due to its geography. In this study, it has been aimed to provide information about the plants used by people against prostate diseases in Turkey. It has been screened ethnobotanical studies made in various parts of the Turkey and 107 taxa used in treatment of prostate diseases have been recorded. These plants are belong to predominantly Rosaceae (15 taxa), Asteraceae (13 taxa), Lamiaceae (10 taxa), Poaceae (4 taxa), Anacardiaceae (3 taxa), Apiaceae (3 taxa), Brassicaceae (3 taxa) families. The plant parts used for treatment are leaves, aerial parts, flowers, roots and seeds. Flavonoids, essential oils, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and steroids are the most common chemical compounds in these plants. Activity studies to support the use of prostate diseases for 17 taxa have been reached. Similar activity studies can be done for other plants and so new drugs can be developed for the treatment of prostate diseases.
