Used in pharmaceutical research for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Investigated for potential use in treating neurodegenerative diseases and cancer due to its ability to modulate cellular pathways. Also found in plant defense mechanisms, making it relevant in agricultural science for developing pest-resistant crops. Employed as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays because of its natural fluorescence. Studied in cosmetics for skin-protective formulations thanks to its UV absorption and radical-scavenging activity.
