Subelliptenone G exhibits potential in antimicrobial applications, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria. It has shown inhibitory activity in laboratory studies, suggesting possible use in developing new antibiotic agents. Additionally, its unique structure contributes to research on secondary metabolites in natural product chemistry, aiding in the exploration of biosynthetic pathways in fungal species. Studies also indicate moderate cytotoxic effects on certain cancer cell lines, making it a candidate for preliminary investigation in anticancer drug discovery. However, its application remains primarily limited to research settings due to low natural abundance and lack of clinical data.
