Used in cancer research, particularly for its cytotoxic properties against various tumor cell lines. Shows activity in inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing apoptosis in malignant cells. Investigated for potential use in chemotherapy, especially in treating ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Its mechanism involves interaction with DNA and mitochondrial targets, leading to selective toxicity in rapidly dividing cells. Has been evaluated in clinical trials to assess efficacy and safety as an antineoplastic agent.
