Used in research for its potential cardiovascular effects, particularly in vasodilation and improving blood circulation by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, suggesting possible development for hypertension or ischemic heart conditions. Also studied for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in preclinical models, including potential benefits in respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD through bronchodilation and reducing inflammation. Investigated for its role in modulating ion channels, especially calcium channels, which may contribute to its biological effects. Additionally, exhibits anti-cancer activity by inhibiting the growth of certain cancer cells, making it of interest for future anti-tumor drug development. Limited to laboratory and experimental studies; not used clinically.
