Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to cognitive enhancement and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Shows antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and may modulate signaling pathways involved in neuronal survival. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects in brain tissue, helping reduce neuroinflammation. Also studied for its role in promoting nerve growth factor (NGF) activity, which supports the growth and maintenance of neurons. Due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it is considered a candidate for developing nootropic or neuroprotective agents. Limited use outside laboratory and preclinical research settings.
