is known in traditional folk medicine for treating cough, cold, sore throat, fever, wounds, epilepsy, and headaches. To discover the scientific pharmacological potential of , we explore its anti-inflammatory, cytotoxicity, and inhibition of amyloid- (Aβ) aggregation effects. Cyclooxygenase assay of the CHCl (GSC) extract and MeOH (GSM) extract are more selective to COX-1 inhibition with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC) of 3.56 μg/mL for the GSC extract and 4.98 μg/mL for the GSM extract. Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y inhibition and thioflavin T assay amyloid- (Aβ) aggregate inhibition of the GSM and GSC extracts showed their potential therapeutic effects against Alzheimer's disease. The putative compounds from the LC-MS analysis could be responsible for the observed activities. The results suggest that possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-neurodegenerative properties and a promising lead as a source of pharmacologically active compounds.
