Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Shows activity in cellular models related to oxidative stress and neuronal damage, making it of interest in studies on neurodegenerative diseases. Also investigated for its role in promoting blood circulation and inhibiting platelet aggregation, with possible applications in cardiovascular health. Exhibits weak cytotoxic effects in some cancer cell lines, supporting exploratory work in anticancer agent development. Primarily utilized as a biochemical tool in traditional medicine-related studies, especially those involving plant extracts like those from Caesalpinia sappan.
