Used as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biochemical research formulations due to its ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and alleviate redness and irritation in skincare products. Exhibits potential in inhibiting melanogenesis for skin-lightening creams to reduce hyperpigmentation. Shows anticancer activity, particularly in suppressing proliferation of breast and colorectal cancer cells in preliminary in vitro studies. Investigated for neurological benefits, including modulation of the nervous system and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's by inhibiting abnormal protein aggregation. Its natural origin and structural similarity to flavonoids enhance bioavailability and skin absorption, favoring use in transdermal delivery systems. Additionally, it serves as a promising starting material for synthesizing derivatives with enhanced bioactivity.
