Maoecrystal A shows promising application in cancer research due to its potent cytotoxic activity against certain tumor cell lines. It has demonstrated selective inhibition of cancer cell growth, particularly in studies involving human lung and breast cancer cells. Its complex structure also makes it a subject of interest in synthetic organic chemistry, where researchers aim to develop efficient methods to synthesize it for further biological evaluation. Due to its natural origin and limited availability, current applications are primarily confined to laboratory studies and preclinical research.
