Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties. Shows activity in protecting neuronal cells from oxidative stress, making it of interest in studies related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Also investigated for its role in modulating immune responses and enhancing cellular antioxidant defenses. It inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, which may lead to development as active agents for treating chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, Sagittatoside C exhibits anti-cancer activity at the cellular level, particularly against certain cancer cell lines such as lung and liver cancer. Its mechanism may involve inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation.

As a glycoside with high bioactivity, it has potential as a lead compound for developing new drugs, especially in pharmaceutical research seeking safe and effective natural substances. Primarily utilized in preclinical studies and not yet applied in clinical or industrial settings.
