2,3-Dehydrokievitone is a prenylated flavanone used in research for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It shows activity in inhibiting certain enzymes linked to inflammatory pathways, making it of interest in developing treatments for chronic inflammatory conditions. It is also studied for its role in modulating cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress and for possible applications in neuroprotective therapies due to its ability to cross biological membranes and interact with neuronal signaling pathways. Additional research highlights its antimicrobial and potential anticancer effects at the cellular level, as well as applications in cosmetics and skincare products for reducing skin inflammation and protecting against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution.
