Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Found in herbal formulations aimed at treating digestive disorders and fever-related conditions. Studied for potential anticancer properties, particularly in inhibiting tumor cell growth in liver, breast, lung, and colon cancers through mechanisms such as inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis) and inhibiting new blood vessel formation that feeds tumors (anti-angiogenesis). Shows antimalarial activity by interfering with parasite development. Also investigated for immunomodulatory effects, helping regulate immune responses. Research indicates it may enhance the efficacy of certain chemotherapeutic agents. However, clinical use remains in the research stage, requiring further data on safety and efficacy in humans.
