Used in research for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to multiple phenolic groups that scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in cells. It inhibits enzymes involved in inflammation such as cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX), suggesting applications in health products or cosmetics for reducing skin inflammation and anti-aging.

Shows activity in cellular models related to aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and potential anti-cancer effects, particularly in liver and breast cancer cells through induction of apoptosis and inhibition of abnormal cell proliferation. Investigated for use in natural product-based pharmaceuticals due to its structural similarity to resveratrol. Also studied for possible skin-protective effects in cosmetic formulations, particularly in UV protection and anti-aging creams.

Exhibits weak estrogenic activity, suggesting potential in hormone-related therapeutic studies. However, further clinical studies are needed to confirm efficacy and safety for pharmaceutical applications.
