Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. Shows activity in protecting liver cells from damage caused by toxins and may help reduce markers of liver injury in experimental models. Investigated for possible use in treating metabolic disorders due to its effects on lipid metabolism. Also studied for anticancer potential, particularly in inhibiting the growth of certain tumor cell lines. Its ability to modulate signaling pathways involved in cell survival and apoptosis makes it a compound of interest in drug development.
