Used primarily in research settings for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Shows activity in inhibiting the proliferation of certain tumor cell lines, making it of interest in oncology studies. Also investigated for its role in modulating cellular signaling pathways involved in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Due to its natural origin and structural complexity, it serves as a lead compound in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Limited to laboratory and preclinical research; not approved for clinical use.
