Used in research for its potential antiarrhythmic, bronchodilatory, and antioxidant properties. It exhibits activity in relaxing smooth muscle, particularly in the respiratory tract, aiding in bronchodilation and showing potential for treating conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Shows activity in modulating ion channels, particularly calcium and potassium channels, which may contribute to cardiovascular effects, including antiarrhythmic properties to regulate heart rhythm.

Investigated for neuroprotective effects in models of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that protect neuronal cells.

Also studied for anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities in preclinical studies, with evidence of inhibiting growth in certain cancer cells, particularly lung and liver cancer cells.

Primarily used as a biochemical tool in pharmacological research.
