Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of oxidative stress and neuronal damage. Shows promise in studies related to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in brain cells. Also investigated for hepatoprotective activity, helping protect liver cells from toxin-induced damage. Its natural origin and xanthone structure make it a candidate for developing new therapeutic agents in neurodegenerative and liver-related conditions.
