Used in cancer research due to its ability to inhibit glycosidase enzymes, which can disrupt tumor growth and metastasis. Studied for its potential in immunotherapy to enhance the immune system's response against cancer cells. Investigated in antiviral research for its ability to interfere with viral glycoprotein processing. Also explored in agriculture as a natural pesticide, targeting specific pests without harming beneficial organisms. In biomedical studies, it serves as a tool to understand glycosylation processes and their role in diseases.
