Anti-inflammatory Properties: The exploration of the anti-inflammatory impacts of Acroptilon repens
is still in its infancy. Some studies propose that certain extracts or compounds from the plant manifest anti-
inflammatory effects in animal models of inflammation. These effects may be ascribed to the existence of
phenolic compounds and other bioactive constituents possessing anti-inflammatory attributes [11].
Anticancer Potential: Though direct evidence of anticancer activity in Acroptilon repens is sparse,
some studies have alluded to its potential in this realm. Specific phytochemicals present in the plant, such as
flavonoids and alkaloids, have exhibited cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines in preliminary
investigations. Further exploration is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning these effects and
assess the plant's viability as a source of anticancer agents [9].
Antidiabetic Effects: Presently, there is a dearth of direct evidence regarding the antidiabetic effects of
Acroptilon repens. Nonetheless, certain studies on closely related plant species have documented
hypoglycemic effects linked to particular phytochemicals. Further scrutiny is warranted to ascertain whether
Acroptilon repens possesses similar effects and whether it could be explored for the formulation of
antidiabetic agents [12].
Neuroprotective Effects: As of now, there exists no specific research on the neuroprotective properties
of Acroptilon repens. Nevertheless, considering the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes
demonstrated by some of its constituents, there is a prospect for neuroprotective effects. Additional
investigations are imperative to delve into this facet and appraise the plant's potential in the prevention or
management of neurodegenerative disorders [13].
