Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties. Shows activity in studies related to cancer cell inhibition, particularly in leukemia and solid tumor lines. Also investigated for its role as a natural triterpenoid derivative in modulating cellular signaling pathways. Found in certain plant extracts, it serves as a marker compound in phytochemical analysis and may contribute to the plant’s defense mechanisms. Limited commercial use due to low natural abundance and complex synthesis.
