Galeopsin inhibits TNF-α, has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Galeopsin is a phytochemical compound, which is derived from the plant Galeopsis species, belonging to the Lamiaceae family. This compound originates from natural sources, particularly these plants, known for their various traditional medicinal uses. Galeopsin functions mainly through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, interacting at the cellular level to modulate inflammatory pathways and scavenge free radicals. Galeopsin is primarily employed in the field of ocular health, where it is used to alleviate symptoms of inflammation and oxidative stress-related conditions. Its applications extend to the management of ocular surface diseases, potentially offering therapeutic benefits in conditions such as dry eye syndrome and conjunctivitis. By attenuating inflammatory responses and reducing oxidative damage, Galeopsin plays a critical role in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and promoting eye health. The scientific exploration of its efficacy and mechanisms continues to provide insights into its potential therapeutic scope.
