Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties at the cellular level. Shows potential as an active ingredient in health products or treatments for chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative conditions. Investigated as an inhibitor of certain enzymes involved in cancer cell proliferation, with potential applications in future anti-cancer drug development. In skin care and cosmetics, it helps reduce wrinkles, protect against UV radiation, and alleviate skin inflammation due to its antioxidant effects. Also serves as a building block in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules, particularly in natural product chemistry.
