Used in research as a potent anticancer agent, particularly in studies targeting prostate and pancreatic cancers. It functions by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation through modulation of signaling pathways such as NF-κB and Akt. Also investigated for its anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines. Shows promise in preclinical models for overcoming drug resistance in tumor cells. Primarily utilized in laboratory settings for mechanistic studies in molecular oncology and pharmacology.
