May 2018 in “Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC)” This study found that adjusting plant growth conditions, such as the use of elicitors like yeast extract and methyl jasmonate, increased wedelolactone production in Eclipta alba cell suspension culture.
June 2025 in “Universities Journal of Phytochemistry and Ayurvedic Heights” This study evaluated the wedelolactone content and antimicrobial activity of Eclipta alba and Wedelia chinensis extracts, finding a potential relationship between the concentration of wedelolactone and their in vitro antimicrobial effects against several pathogenic bacteria and yeast.
October 2024 in “International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research” This review highlights that Wedelolactone, a compound in Eclipta prostrata, appears to be a potent antioxidant and selective modulator of proteins linked to chronic diseases, suggesting further research into its pharmacological effects is warranted according to the examined data.
