Used in research for its potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in studies involving apoptosis induction in tumor cells. Shows activity in modulating signaling pathways linked to cell proliferation and survival. Also investigated for cardiovascular effects, including influence on ion channels and myocardial function. Due to its structural similarity to cardiotonic steroids, it may interact with Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase, making it a compound of interest in both oncology and cardiology research. Primarily applied in preclinical in vitro and in vivo models for drug development.
