Dihydropinosylvin is a stilbenoid derivative researched for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. In plant biochemistry, it acts as a phytoalexin, enhancing resistance to fungi and bacteria. In biomedical and cosmetic studies, it supports skin health, protects against oxidative stress, scavenges free radicals for anti-aging formulations, and shows potential in preservative systems, topical treatments, anti-inflammatory therapies, chronic disease management, and laboratory-level cancer cell growth inhibition. Limited to experimental and research applications; not widely commercialized.
