Used in research settings for its potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Shows activity in cellular models related to immune response regulation, making it a candidate for early-stage studies in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Also investigated for its effects on specific signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Due to its complex tricyclic structure, it serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry for designing analogs with improved bioavailability and target selectivity. Currently not approved for clinical use; primarily limited to in vitro and preclinical research.
