Used in pharmaceutical research for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and potential anti-cancer properties. Shows potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's due to its ability to modulate brain cell signaling pathways and protect neuronal cells from degeneration. Also investigated for antidiabetic effects, particularly in improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels. Demonstrates anti-cancer activity by inhibiting the growth of certain cancer cells, such as liver and lung cancer cells. Found in traditional herbal medicines, it supports the development of natural product-based therapies. Its steroid-like structure makes it a candidate for synthesizing biologically active compounds in drug discovery. Further research is needed to confirm efficacy and safety in humans.
