Used in research for its inhibitory effects on Ubc13-mediated ubiquitination, making it a valuable tool in studying signaling pathways involved in inflammation and cancer. Shows potential in disrupting NF-κB activation, which plays a key role in tumor progression and immune response. Investigated for its antitumor activity, particularly in hematological malignancies like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, where it induces apoptosis and suppresses cell proliferation. Also serves as a lead compound in developing targeted therapies that interfere with protein-protein interactions in ubiquitin-conjugating systems.
