Used in research for its anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial properties, particularly in studies related to cancer cell lines and resistant bacterial strains. Shows potential in phytochemical and pharmacological research due to its sesquiterpene lactone structure, which may contribute to bioactivity against certain tumor cells and pathogens. It can inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, with applications in developing health products or treatments for chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis or skin diseases. Also investigated for its role in plant defense mechanisms, making it of interest in natural product chemistry, antibiotic innovation, and drug discovery. Further research is needed to confirm safety and efficacy.
