This compound exhibits strong antioxidant properties, helping to reduce cellular damage from free radicals associated with aging and chronic diseases. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory mediators at the cellular level, showing potential as a lead compound for treatments of chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, it possesses antimicrobial activity, inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria, including drug-resistant strains, making it a candidate for new antimicrobial agents. In vitro studies suggest anticancer potential, where it suppresses cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis through specific biochemical pathways.

Due to its flavanone structure with prenyl groups, it has good membrane permeability, enhancing intracellular efficacy. In skincare formulations, it is valued for protecting skin cells from oxidative stress, supporting collagen production, and potential tyrosinase inhibition for skin brightening. It appears in anti-aging creams and serums targeting fine lines and UV-induced damage. It shows moderate stability in oil-based solutions and is often encapsulated to improve dermal absorption. Its applications extend to health products and cosmetics addressing wrinkles, UV damage, and pollution.
