Acanthocarpan is a bioactive compound isolated from plants of the Acanthaceae family, known for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It has shown promise in various studies for inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, which suggests its use as a natural antimicrobial agent. The mechanism of acanthocarpan involves disrupting microbial cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes, thereby exerting its antimicrobial effects. Additionally, it has been explored for its role in managing inflammatory conditions, potentially by modulating immune responses and reducing cytokine production.
