Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in treating joint pain and swelling. In biochemical research, studied for inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and COX-2 enzyme, especially in cell models of chronic diseases like arthritis and type 2 diabetes, targeting the NF-κB signaling pathway which regulates immune responses. Shows potential in laboratory studies for inhibiting cancer cell growth in breast and colon lines. Investigated for antiviral effects against some enveloped viruses. As a natural compound, serves as a lead for developing plant-based therapeutics. Limited to research; not in commercial pharmaceuticals.
