Anethole trithione is primarily used to enhance liver function and support detoxification processes. It stimulates the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant in the liver, helping protect liver cells from damage caused by toxins and oxidative stress. It is commonly used in the treatment of liver disorders such as drug-induced liver injury, chronic hepatitis, and cholestasis. The compound also promotes bile secretion, improving bile flow and aiding in the digestion of fats. Due to its choleretic and hepatoprotective properties, it is included in formulations aimed at treating dyspepsia and other digestive complaints linked to bile insufficiency. Additionally, it has been explored for its potential to alleviate symptoms of dry mouth, particularly in patients undergoing radiation therapy or suffering from Sjögren's syndrome, by stimulating salivary secretion.
