Used in research for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in natural product drug discovery. Shows potential in inhibiting biofilm formation by certain bacteria, making it of interest for developing new antibacterial agents. Also studied for antioxidant activity, which may support its use in formulations aimed at reducing oxidative stress in biological systems. Investigated for antifungal effects against pathogenic fungi, suggesting possible applications in antifungal therapy. Its role in plant defense mechanisms has led to exploration in agricultural science for developing natural pesticides.
