Used in pharmaceutical research for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, including inhibition of enzymes such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Shows potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s due to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and reduce beta-amyloid accumulation in neural tissues. Also studied for anticancer activity, particularly in suppressing tumor cell proliferation in breast and liver cancer models and inducing apoptosis in certain cancer cells. Exhibits antioxidant effects that may support cardiovascular health by reducing lipid peroxidation and improving endothelial function. Investigated for use in cosmetic formulations for skin protection against UV-induced damage owing to its free radical scavenging capacity.
