Used in research for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and modulate signaling pathways involved in neuronal survival and inflammation. Investigated for anti-aging properties due to its impact on cellular senescence and oxidative stress. Also studied in cancer research for its role in inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, especially in liver and prostate cancer cell lines. Has been explored for improving erectile function through its influence on nitric oxide pathways, similar to other compounds in its class. Limited to preclinical studies; not approved for clinical use.
