Used primarily in the field of medical research, it is studied for its potential anticancer properties due to its ability to induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. Additionally, it is explored for its antimicrobial effects, showing activity against a range of bacteria and fungi, which makes it a candidate for developing new antimicrobial agents. In dental care, it has been incorporated into toothpaste and mouthwash formulations for its antiplaque and antigingivitis properties. Its use in traditional medicine has also been noted, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Ongoing research continues to investigate its broader therapeutic potentials and safety profile for clinical applications.
