Used in biochemical research for its anti-inflammatory effects, particularly by inhibiting enzymes such as 5-lipoxygenase and COX-2, which reduces the production of inflammatory mediators in cells. It shows promise in modulating cellular responses related to oxidative stress and apoptosis, and has potential as a lead compound for treating chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, it exhibits antiviral properties, especially against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HIV at the cellular level, interfering with viral replication and protecting hepatocytes, making it interesting for antiviral drug development. Studied for liver protection against toxins, reducing elevated liver enzymes, and possible use in hepatitis and other liver-related diseases. Also explored for anticancer activity, particularly in prostate and breast cancer cell lines, where it may suppress tumor growth and induce cell death. Potential applications in liver health supplements.
