Bergaptol is believed to exert its effects through multiple mechanisms. It is thought to function as an antioxidant by effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species, while also displaying anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, there are indications that bergaptol may engage with various enzymes and receptors, further contributing to its potential actions.
