Alpinetin is primarily used in pharmaceutical and medicinal applications due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. It has been studied for its potential in treating gastrointestinal disorders, including colitis, by modulating inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB and MAPK. Research also indicates that alpinetin can induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells, making it a candidate for development in oncology therapeutics. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, supporting its use in infection control. Due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress, alpinetin is explored in formulations aimed at protecting liver and cardiovascular tissues from damage. Its natural origin and low toxicity profile enhance its suitability for use in herbal medicine and nutraceuticals.
