Used in research for its potential anticancer properties, particularly in inhibiting tumor growth and angiogenesis. It has been studied in breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers due to its ability to disrupt microtubule function and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects in conditions like endometriosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Despite promising preclinical results, its clinical use remains limited due to poor oral bioavailability and rapid metabolism.
