Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows antioxidant activity by reducing oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects in the central nervous system, possibly modulating microglial activation. Also studied for its ability to inhibit enzymes like acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase, which are relevant in cognitive and mood disorders. Has demonstrated anticancer potential in vitro by inducing apoptosis in certain tumor cell lines. Limited to laboratory and preclinical studies; not used in clinical medicine at this time.
