Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports studies on cellular protection against oxidative stress and molecules involved in inflammatory processes. Investigated for roles in developing therapies for chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, as well as neuroprotective effects against neurological disorders like Alzheimer's. Due to its presence in plant defense mechanisms, it is explored in natural product-based therapies. Additionally, its antimicrobial activity is studied for agricultural applications to protect crops from fungal pathogens.
