Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows activity as a modulator of cellular signaling pathways involved in neuronal survival and inflammation. Investigated for its ability to reduce amyloid-beta accumulation and tau protein hyperphosphorylation, key markers in Alzheimer's pathology. Also explored for anti-aging applications due to its effects on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress reduction. Not approved for clinical use; currently limited to preclinical studies.
