Used in research for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows antioxidant properties that may help reduce oxidative stress in brain cells. Investigated for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a candidate for drug development in central nervous system disorders. Also studied for anti-inflammatory activity in cellular models, suggesting possible applications in treating chronic inflammatory conditions. Limited to preclinical studies; not used in clinical medicine at this time.
