Used in research for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, including inhibition of proteins like NF-κB and certain cytokines, with potential applications in chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and dermatitis.

Exhibits antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria and some fungi, and shows potential in inhibiting the replication of certain viruses, including hepatitis B and C, in laboratory studies.

Investigated for anticancer activity, particularly in inducing apoptosis in cancer cells and suppressing tumor growth in models of leukemia, liver cancer, and colon cancer.

Also studied for its ability to modulate oxidative stress, suggesting possible applications in neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.

Most findings are preclinical, based on in vitro and animal models. Further studies are needed to confirm safety and efficacy in humans.
