Used in research to study cellular stress responses, particularly in modulating the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway. It helps protect cells under stress conditions by enhancing protein folding and reducing apoptosis. Investigated for potential therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative diseases where protein misfolding is involved. Also applied in studies of synaptic plasticity and memory formation due to its effects on neuronal resilience. Not used clinically; primarily a tool compound in biochemical and pharmacological research.
