Used in research for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, due to its potential to enhance mitochondrial function and reduce amyloid-beta accumulation. It has also shown activity in improving cognitive performance in preclinical models by modulating neurotransmitter systems and supporting neuronal health. Investigated for its neuroprotective properties in Huntington’s disease and other conditions involving cognitive decline. Although clinical results have been mixed, it remains a compound of interest in central nervous system drug development.
