Used in research for its neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Shows potential in reducing inflammation by inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), which may help in conditions involving excessive immune response. Investigated for use in improving cognitive function and memory, especially in age-related cognitive decline. Also studied for its protective effects on brain cells during ischemic events due to its ability to modulate neurotransmitter activity and reduce oxidative stress. Some research explores its role in asthma and allergic reactions because of its PAF antagonism, which can help control bronchoconstriction and inflammatory responses in the airways.
