Used in pharmaceutical research for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Shows potential in the development of treatments for neurodegenerative diseases due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and protect neuronal cells from oxidative stress. Also studied for anticancer activity, particularly in inhibiting the growth of certain tumor cell lines by interfering with cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. Found in some natural product-based cosmetics for skin protection and anti-aging effects owing to its free radical scavenging capability. Investigated as a lead compound in designing new flavonoid derivatives with enhanced bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
