He wai ʻaila melemele ʻole ka ʻaila ʻalani, me ka ʻala ʻalani a me ka ʻala ʻala kūikawā. Inā waiho ʻia i ka lewa no ka manawa lōʻihi, hiki ke oxidized a ʻeleʻele ke kala, maʻalahi ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka ethyl ether, acetone, ethyl acetate a me nā mea hoʻoheheʻe organik ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka ethanol, paʻakikī ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai. I ka lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻohana ʻia ia no ka antisepsis a me ka disinfection waha. I ka ʻoihana, hoʻohana nui ʻia ia no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka toothpaste a me ka ʻono kopa a i ʻole he mea maka no ka synthesis o vanil.

ʻO ka ʻaila ʻākala ka ʻaila pono i unuhi ʻia mai nā ʻōpuʻu o nā ʻākala. Hiki iā ia ke mālama i ka ʻeha niho, bronchitis, neuralgia, waikawa ʻōpū, pale aku i ka ʻōnaehana hanu a me ka maʻi ʻōnaehana mimi, hōʻoluʻolu i ka ʻeha a me ka ʻeha i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi dysentery, hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kino nāwaliwali a me ka anemia, a me ka aphrodisiac (sexual Impotency, cold feeling), repellent insect. Hoʻoulu i ke kahe koko, mālama i nā ʻeha ʻili a me ka mumū o nā ʻeha, mālama i nā scabies, a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻili ʻino.

Loaʻa i ka ʻaila clove nā ʻano mea hana like ʻole, nona nā hopena insecticidal, bacteriostatic, a me antioxidant, a ʻaʻohe koena a me nā pilikia kūʻē i ka lāʻau. Ma waho aʻe o nā pilikia olakino a me ka palekana o ke kanaka, ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Caenorhabditis elegans ma ke ʻano he meaola hoʻohālike e aʻo ai i ka hopena ʻawaʻawa o ka ʻaila clove ma nā nematodes. Ua hōʻike nā hopena hoʻokolohua ʻo nā ʻano semi-lethal (IC50) o ka ʻaila clove a me ka eugenol iā Caenorhabditis elegans he 55.74 a me 29.22 mg/L; hiki iā lākou ke kāohi i ka hana catalase, glutathione a me ka superoxide Dismutase e hoʻopilikia i ke kaulike dynamic o ka oxidation a me ka anti-oxidation a hōʻemi i ka nematode oviposition. Ma o ka nānā ʻana i ka moʻo RNA-seq, ua wehewehe ʻia nā hopena o ka ʻaila clove a me ka eugenol ma nā nematodes mai ka pae genetic, a ua ʻike ʻia ua hoʻoponopono ʻia nā genes e hana ana ma ka hana metabolic o nā nematodes, e like me E01G6.1, cht-1, C40H1.8, lipl-5, Fat-2, txt-8, fat-4, acox-1.2, dagl-2, pigw-1, etc.; ʻo ka hoʻoponopono ʻana o nā genes e like me hsp-70 a me F44E5.5 e hana ai i ka hana ʻana o nā protein i loko o nā nematodes, ʻoiai nā protein haʻalulu wela a me nā hana i hoʻopilikia ʻia. He mea ʻawaʻawa loa ka ʻaila clove iā Caenorhabditis elegans, a hiki ke komo i loko o ke kino o ka nematode e luku iā ia, e hōʻemi ana i ka pōʻino o ka nematode mai ke aʻa. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻaila clove me nā mea kemika kuʻuna, no laila e hōʻemi ana i ka nui o nā mea kemika kuʻuna, a he waiwai nui ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma ke ʻano he insecticide ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mahina ʻai.
