Used in scientific research to study its effects on the central nervous system, particularly as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), which can influence neurotransmitter levels like serotonin and dopamine. Investigated for potential psychoactive properties and its role in traditional ethnobotanical preparations. Also explored for possible applications in neuropharmacology and behavioral studies. Not used in mainstream medicine but remains of interest in experimental neuroscience and psychopharmacology research.
