Used in biochemical research to study the biological activities of alkaloids derived from the Cyclea plant genus. Exhibits potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, with inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme target for improving cognitive function. Also investigated for antimicrobial effects, inhibiting the growth of certain microorganisms, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in cellular models. Serves as an interesting starting material for developing pharmaceuticals or health products in the future. Limited to laboratory and preclinical studies; not approved for therapeutic use in humans.
