Used in neurological research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Shows activity as a platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, which may contribute to anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects. Investigated for its role in reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis in neuronal cells. Also explored for possible benefits in asthma and allergic conditions due to PAF inhibition. Limited bioavailability remains a challenge for therapeutic development.
