Terminolic acid is primarily used in pharmaceutical research due to its anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. It has shown potential in the development of drugs targeting liver diseases, including hepatitis and fibrosis, by modulating oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. Additionally, it serves as a lead compound in the synthesis of derivatives aimed at improving bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Its natural origin and low toxicity profile make it suitable for exploration in herbal medicine standardization and nutraceutical formulations. Studies also suggest antimicrobial activity, supporting its use in formulations against certain pathogenic microorganisms.
