Used in pharmaceutical research as a flavonoid derivative with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Shows promise in studies related to cancer cell inhibition, particularly in breast and liver cancer lines, due to its ability to induce apoptosis and interfere with cell cycle progression. Also investigated for neuroprotective effects in models of oxidative stress-related neurological disorders. Serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules and enzyme inhibitors. Its structure supports interaction with cellular receptors and signaling pathways, making it valuable in drug development and biochemical assays.
