Used primarily in research for its potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in studies targeting breast, prostate, and colon cancer cells. It induces apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation by modulating signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt and NF-κB. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, showing promise in neurodegenerative disease models. Acts as a tubulin polymerization inhibitor, disrupting microtubule formation in rapidly dividing cells. Due to structural similarity to resveratrol, it is studied for anti-aging and cardioprotective applications, though with improved metabolic stability. Mainly utilized in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies.
