Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Shows promise in studies related to metabolic disorders due to its ability to influence glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity. Investigated for antimicrobial properties, particularly against certain strains of bacteria and fungi. Also explored for its role in cancer research, where it may help inhibit the growth of specific tumor cells by interfering with cell signaling pathways. Its natural origin makes it a candidate for developing plant-based therapeutic agents.
