Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Shows antioxidant activity that may help reduce oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects, especially in brain tissue, suggesting possible therapeutic applications in conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Also studied for its influence on cellular signaling pathways related to cell survival and apoptosis. Limited availability and ongoing studies mean current use remains primarily in preclinical research settings.
