Dehydroperilloxin is primarily studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-allergic properties. It has shown activity in modulating pathways involved in oxidative stress and inflammation, making it of interest in research related to neurodegenerative conditions and respiratory health. The compound may influence neuronal signaling and has been investigated for its ability to protect nerve cells from damage in preclinical models. Additionally, it exhibits mild analgesic effects, suggesting possible applications in pain management, as well as relief from cold and allergy symptoms. Due to its natural origin from Perilla plants and bioactivity, dehydroperilloxin is explored as a lead compound in the development of plant-based therapeutics, functional ingredients in traditional medicine formulations, and pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates.
