Wedelolactone（Cat No.:R006650）is a bioactive compound found in several medicinal plants, particularly in Eclipta alba, known for its hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a lignan-like flavonoid that has demonstrated antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. Wedelolactone has been studied for its potential to treat liver diseases, as it can help prevent liver damage and promote regeneration. Additionally, it shows promise in reducing inflammation, inhibiting fibrosis, and possibly offering anticancer activity. It is also investigated for its neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects, although more clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
