Used in research for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Shows ability to reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques. Also studied for anti-cancer properties, especially in suppressing tumor growth and metastasis in colon, liver, and breast cancer cell lines. Exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities that may support cardiovascular health. Investigated for metabolic benefits, including improvement in insulin sensitivity and reduction of lipid accumulation, suggesting possible application in managing diabetes and obesity. Currently limited to preclinical studies with no approved clinical uses.
