Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to brain health, cognitive function, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in neuronal cells, modulating cellular stress responses, supporting neuron survival under oxidative conditions, and influencing signaling pathways involved in inflammation and cell longevity. Additionally, it has been investigated for its anticancer potential, showing inhibition of growth in certain cancer cells, including liver and lung cancer at the cellular level, suggesting promise as a lead compound for future cancer therapeutics. It is also explored for enhancing physical endurance and recovery in preclinical models, with potential applications in performance and fatigue management research. Further studies are required to confirm its efficacy and safety in animal models and humans.
