Used primarily in research settings for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. It has shown ability to modulate acetylcholine levels by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, which may enhance cognitive function. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in neuronal tissues. Due to its natural origin and structural profile, it serves as a lead compound in developing derivatives for improved brain bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Not used in clinical medicine but remains valuable in preclinical neuroscience research.
