Humantenmine is primarily used in research settings for its potential immunomodulatory properties. It has been investigated for its ability to influence cytokine production, particularly suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines, which suggests possible applications in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The compound is also explored for its effects on cellular signaling pathways involved in immune response regulation. Due to its experimental status, it is not used clinically but serves as a tool compound in studying immune system mechanisms and developing new therapeutic strategies.
