Batatasin I is primarily studied for its biological activity, particularly its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. It has shown potential in inhibiting the growth of certain pathogenic bacteria and fungi, making it a candidate for development in natural preservatives or topical antimicrobial agents. Additionally, its antioxidant effects suggest possible use in cosmetic formulations aimed at reducing oxidative stress in the skin. Research also indicates anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities, which could support its exploration in pharmaceuticals for neurodegenerative conditions. However, most applications remain in the preclinical research stage, with further studies needed to evaluate efficacy and safety in practical settings.
