Used in research for its antioxidant properties, helping to study cellular protection against oxidative stress. Investigated for potential anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in models of chronic inflammation. Shows activity in inhibiting certain enzymes linked to metabolic disorders, making it a candidate for studying diabetes-related pathways. Also explored for antimicrobial applications due to observed effects against select bacterial strains. Its role in plant defense mechanisms supports studies in natural product chemistry and drug discovery from botanical sources.
