Used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, particularly in treating rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. It modulates immune cell activity and inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping reduce joint swelling and pain. Also investigated for potential neuroprotective effects and use in managing certain neurological conditions due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Shows promise in reducing fibrosis in liver and lung tissues. Research explores its role in cancer therapy by inducing apoptosis and suppressing tumor growth in some cell lines. Often used in combination with other drugs to enhance therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects.
