Ceanothic acid is a natural triterpenoid acid studied in biochemical research for its role in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. It may inhibit certain enzymes involved in inflammatory processes, making it a candidate for development as an active ingredient in health products or treatments for chronic inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or diabetes. Additionally, it is being investigated for antiviral effects, particularly against respiratory viruses. However, it remains in the early stages of in vitro and animal studies and is not yet widely used in clinical applications. It is also explored for potential benefits in skincare due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, though commercial use is limited.
