Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Shows activity in inhibiting nitric oxide production in microglial cells, suggesting possible application in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Also studied for its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines, making it a candidate for development in anti-inflammatory therapeutics. Demonstrates moderate cytotoxicity against certain cancer cell lines, including lung (A549) and liver (HepG2) cancer cells, indicating potential as a lead compound in anticancer drug research.
