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 in neuronal cells. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, especially in microglial cell lines. Also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive iridoid compounds. Exhibits moderate antioxidant capacity in biochemical assays. Currently explored for its role in modulating signaling pathways involved in cell survival and apoptosis. Not used in commercial pharmaceuticals; primarily limited to laboratory and preclinical research.
