Cimiside B is primarily studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. It has shown activity in modulating pathways related to oxidative stress and neuronal damage, making it a compound of interest in research on neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s disease. It may also influence signaling mechanisms involved in apoptosis, suggesting possible applications in cancer-related studies. Due to its natural origin and structural profile, it is used as a reference compound in phytochemical analysis of medicinal plants, particularly in species of the Cimicifuga genus. Research remains largely preclinical, focusing on in vitro and animal models to evaluate its therapeutic potential.
