Pseudoginsenoside RT5 is primarily studied for its neuroprotective properties. It has shown potential in supporting cognitive function and protecting brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, which are linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. Research indicates it may help improve memory and learning abilities in animal models by modulating key signaling pathways involved in neuronal survival.

It also exhibits anti-aging effects, particularly in cellular and skin models, where it helps reduce senescence and supports cell vitality. Due to these properties, it is being explored as a candidate for cosmetic ingredients aimed at skin rejuvenation and anti-aging formulations.

Additionally, Pseudoginsenoside RT5 has demonstrated anti-diabetic potential by enhancing insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in preclinical studies. Its ability to regulate metabolic pathways makes it a subject of interest in managing type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders.

Most current applications remain in the research and development phase, with focus on pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and high-end skincare products.
