Diacetoxyscirpenol solution is primarily used in research settings due to its potent biological activity. It serves as a tool compound in studies involving cellular toxicity and apoptosis, helping scientists understand the mechanisms of cell death and immune response. Its ability to inhibit protein synthesis makes it valuable in investigating ribosomal function and translational pathways. In immunology research, it has been explored for its immunosuppressive properties, offering insights into immune system regulation. Due to its high toxicity, it is not used in clinical or therapeutic applications but remains important in toxicological studies to assess the impact of mycotoxins on human and animal health. It is also used in the development and validation of detection methods for trichothecene mycotoxins in food and feed samples.
