Phytolaccoside B exhibits significant antifungal activity, particularly against plant-pathogenic fungi, making it a candidate for development as a natural fungicide in agricultural applications. It has been studied for its ability to inhibit fungal growth by disrupting cell membrane integrity. Additionally, it shows anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, suggesting potential use in pharmaceuticals for treating inflammatory conditions. Research also indicates cytotoxic properties against certain human cancer cell lines, pointing to possible roles in anticancer drug research. Its natural origin from plants like Phytolacca species supports interest in its use as a bioactive compound in both crop protection and medicine.
