Tectochrysin is primarily studied for its potential biological and pharmacological applications. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways, making it a candidate for research in managing chronic inflammatory conditions. It also shows antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in cells. Research suggests tectochrysin has anticancer potential, as it may suppress the growth of certain tumor cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation. It has been investigated in preclinical models for cancers including breast, liver, and colon. Additionally, tectochrysin demonstrates antimicrobial effects against some bacteria and fungi, supporting its traditional use in natural medicine. It may also offer neuroprotective benefits, with studies exploring its role in protecting brain cells in neurodegenerative disorders. Due to its ability to modulate enzymes and signaling molecules, tectochrysin is used in scientific research to understand flavonoid metabolism and bioactivity. However, its use in clinical or industrial applications remains limited and primarily experimental.
