Used in research for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage, including neuroprotective effects against neuronal cell damage potentially applicable to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Shows potential in anti-inflammatory applications by modulating inflammatory pathways and inhibiting enzymes involved in pro-inflammatory mediator production, with applications in chronic conditions such as arthritis and metabolic disorders. Investigated for use in skincare products due to its ability to reduce redness and soothe irritation. Also studied for possible antiviral effects, particularly in early-stage viral inhibition. Its natural origin from plants makes it a candidate for development in plant-based therapeutics.
