Tuberculatin is primarily studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. It has shown activity in inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines, making it a candidate of interest in research related to autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation. Studies suggest it may influence macrophage activation, which plays a key role in host defense and inflammatory responses. Due to its biological activity, tuberculatin is used as a reference compound in pharmacological studies aiming to develop new anti-inflammatory agents. Its natural origin also makes it relevant in the exploration of bioactive metabolites from medicinal plants and microorganisms.
