Used in research for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Shows potential in reducing oxidative stress in brain cells. Investigated for antiviral activity, especially against influenza and hepatitis B. Also studied for its role in improving metabolic health, including glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, suggesting possible applications in diabetes management. Exhibits anticancer effects in vitro by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, mainly in breast and liver cancer lines. Explored as an immunomodulatory agent due to its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines.
