Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Shows antioxidant activity by reducing oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Investigated for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a candidate for central nervous system-targeted therapies. Also studied for anti-inflammatory effects in brain tissue, which may contribute to its protective role. Limited to preclinical studies; not used in clinical medicine at this stage.
