Used in research for its potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in studies involving tumor cell inhibition and apoptosis induction by inhibiting signaling pathways such as NF-κB and STAT3. Shows activity against various cancer cell lines, including liver, breast, and lung cancers. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antimicrobial, and insecticidal effects. Due to its natural origin and bioactivity, it serves as a lead compound in developing new therapeutic agents and natural pesticides. Limited by toxicity and low solubility, so primarily used in preclinical studies.
