1. Osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism, oedema : Plant part used: Flower. Documented pharmacological profile: Aspirine-like, Diclofénac-like.
   Selon Esmat UA (2020) : The major bioactive compounds are Docosanoic Acid, Docosyl Ester (25.404%) & Hexatriacontane (24.324%), has proven anti-inflammatory activity. These phytochemicals recognised are responsible for various activities such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, analgesic & cytotoxic. Selon Arsia Tarnam Y (2021) : From the results, the decoction extract possess does dependent potent anti-inflammatory activity.
2. Type II diabetes mellitus : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Diabinese-like.
   Selon Hamiduzzaman Md (2013) : Focused on traditional medicinal practice of Gomphrenal globosa (L), my present study was to scientifically evaluate the hypoglycemic activity in mice model which could give us a new voyage to prevent or treat diabetic patients with harmless natural resources. Additionally crude methanolic extract also showed hypoglycemic activity in mice model at a dose 400mg/kg body weight. Selon Omodamiro OD (2014) : In conclusion, the ethanolic extract of the leaves of GG & AO possess hypoglyceamic activity in alloxan induced diabetic wistar albino rat.
3. Oxidative stress : Plant part used: Flower. Documented pharmacological profile: Acide gallique-like, Quercétine-like.
   Selon Ningrum NA (2020) : globosa leaves has antioxidant properties & may serve as natural antioxidants to prevent cellular damage induced by oxidative stress. The IC50 value of antioxidant activities of GGLE was 100 ± 6.095 µg/mL. Selon SHARMA S (s.d.) : These observations indicate that the flowers of GG may possess antioxidant properties & further pharmacological investigations could provide an insight into the potential use of these flowers in the treatment of oxidative related disorders,.
