Used in neurological research for its role as a GABA enhancer and antioxidant in brain tissue. Helps in studying epilepsy, cognitive disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Employed in formulations for improving GABAergic neurotransmission. Also utilized in ophthalmic research due to high concentration in the human lens, supporting studies on cataract prevention and oxidative stress protection in eye tissues. Stable in solution when protected from light, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
