Used in research as a potential anticancer agent, particularly in studies involving prostate and pancreatic cancer. It modulates signaling pathways such as NF-κB and AP-1, leading to reduced cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Also investigated for its anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Shows promise in preclinical models for targeting hormone-related cancers by interacting with nuclear receptors and disrupting tumor growth pathways.
