Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective properties. Shows promise in modulating cellular stress responses, inhibiting cancer-related signaling pathways such as NF-κB and STAT3, inducing apoptosis, and reducing metastasis in cell models. Investigated for applications in neurodegenerative disease models and hormone-related conditions through its influence on steroid signaling pathways. Its structural modifications enhance selectivity in biological activity, with potential in immune system modulation, supporting development of targeted therapies and new drugs.
