Used in research for its neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of Alzheimer's disease, where it may help reduce amyloid-beta accumulation and improve cognitive function. Shows anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways such as NF-κB. Investigated for potential anticancer activity, especially in breast and colon cancer cells, by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Also studied for its antidiabetic effects, including enhancing glucose uptake and improving insulin sensitivity in cellular and animal models. Exhibits antioxidant activity, helping to reduce oxidative stress in various tissue types. Currently limited to preclinical research; not approved for clinical use.
