Used in traditional medicine for its cardiotonic properties, this compound supports heart function by enhancing myocardial contraction. It is studied for potential use in treating heart failure and related cardiovascular conditions. Research also explores its anti-cancer activity, particularly in inhibiting tumor cell growth through mechanisms such as apoptosis induction. Due to its structural complexity, it serves as a lead compound in developing new bioactive glycosides. Limited to research and herbal formulations, it is not used in mainstream pharmaceuticals due to toxicity concerns and narrow therapeutic window.
