Used in pharmaceutical research for its potential antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Shows activity against certain Gram-positive bacteria and dermatophytic fungi, making it a candidate for topical antiseptic formulations. Also investigated for cytotoxic effects in select cancer cell lines, suggesting possible application in early-stage oncology research. Due to limited solubility in water, it is typically formulated with co-solvents for in vitro studies. Not approved for clinical use; currently restricted to laboratory and experimental settings.
