Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Shows activity in reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, making it a candidate in the development of cognitive-enhancing agents. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory effects in cellular models, suggesting possible applications in treating chronic inflammatory conditions. Its unique quinone structure supports exploration in redox-active therapeutics and as a scaffold in synthesizing novel bioactive compounds.
