()-Conocarpan is primarily studied for its biological activity, particularly in anti-inflammatory and anticancer applications. It has shown potential in inhibiting the growth of certain tumor cell lines by interfering with cell proliferation pathways. Its natural occurrence in plants used in traditional medicine supports its role in developing phytochemical-based therapies. Additionally, it serves as a structural template in the synthesis of analogs for drug discovery, especially in targeting oxidative stress-related diseases due to its antioxidant properties. Research also explores its use in dermatological formulations for skin protection and anti-aging effects.
