Used in biological and pharmaceutical research for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It helps inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and shows promise in early cellular studies for anti-cancer effects, with potential development as an active ingredient in treatments for infections. Also investigated for skin health and aging, where it may protect cells from oxidative stress, and in cosmetic formulations to reduce signs of aging and improve skin elasticity. Studied for possible neuroprotective effects, suggesting applications in neurodegenerative conditions.
