Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is employed in biochemical research to study anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in cell models associated with chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes. It inhibits biological signaling pathways involved in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6, demonstrating potential as a lead compound for novel drugs aimed at controlling chronic inflammation. It shows promise in inhibiting the growth of certain cancer cell lines through cytotoxic effects and induction of programmed cell death (apoptosis). Additionally, it is investigated for its hepatoprotective role in safeguarding liver cells from toxin-induced damage. Research continues to explore its application in developing natural therapeutic agents for chronic diseases.
