Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Helps in managing symptoms related to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and reducing oxidative stress in brain cells. Also studied for its potential in lowering blood glucose levels, making it relevant in diabetes research. Shows antiviral activity, particularly against certain enveloped viruses, by interfering with viral entry into host cells. Its anti-asthmatic properties are explored due to its ability to suppress airway inflammation and immune response modulation.
