Used primarily in research settings as a structural analog for bioactive cucurbitane-type triterpenoids. It shows potential in studies related to anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities, particularly in screening natural product derivatives for anticancer properties. Its unique epoxy and methoxy functional groups make it a candidate for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry. Also investigated for modulating cellular signaling pathways due to its interaction with specific enzyme targets in vitro. Not used in commercial or industrial applications; limited to laboratory and pharmacological research.
