Used in biochemical and pharmacological research, particularly for studying its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It demonstrates activity against certain bacterial strains and is investigated for potential use in topical antiseptics. Additionally, it shows potential in inhibiting the growth of some cancer cell types, positioning it as a candidate starting material for developing anti-tumor drugs. Studies also explore its effects on cellular signaling pathways, including those involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis), inflammation, and oxidative stress, making it promising for dermatological, therapeutic, and oncological applications. Limited to laboratory and experimental settings; not approved for clinical use.
