Used in research for its potential antitumor and anticancer properties, particularly studied for activity against leukemia and other cancer cell lines. Shows promise as a cytotoxic agent due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis in cancer cells and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis). Also investigated for anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiviral effects, making it a compound of interest in drug development and pharmacological studies. Currently, it remains in the experimental laboratory stage with no commercial or clinical applications.
