Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties. Shows potential in cancer research due to its ability to induce apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines, such as liver and lung cancer. Also studied for its antiviral effects, particularly against hepatitis B virus, and preliminary antimicrobial activity. Exhibits moderate antioxidant activity, supporting its use in herbal formulations aimed at liver protection. Research is ongoing to explore its role in neuroprotective agents and immune modulation, though primarily in laboratory settings with no current commercial or medical applications.
