It is effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks when taken at the onset of symptoms. Also utilized in veterinary medicine for pain and inflammation management in animals. Shows potential in cancer research due to its ability to induce apoptosis in certain tumor cell lines, particularly in studies involving colorectal and gastric cancers. Its mechanism in anticancer activity is linked to the modulation of transcription factors like Sp1 and suppression of survivin expression.
