Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of flavonoid-based compounds with potential neuroprotective and antioxidant properties. Shows promise in studies related to anti-inflammatory agents and enzyme inhibition, particularly in models targeting oxidative stress-related diseases. Its structural configuration supports binding to specific biological targets, making it valuable in the development of central nervous system therapeutics. Also investigated for use in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize bioavailability and potency in flavonoid derivatives.
