Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and anti-cancer properties. It exhibits antioxidant activity that helps reduce cell damage from oxidative stress, including protection of neuronal cells, making it of interest in studies related to neurodegenerative diseases. It is also investigated for its ability to modulate signaling pathways involved in inflammation and cell survival, and for inhibiting inflammatory mediators at the molecular level.

This compound shows hepatoprotective effects by reducing liver cell damage caused by toxins or alcohol, contributing to its use in herbal formulations targeting liver health. Found in certain plant extracts used in traditional medicine, it enhances the bioactivity of products for liver health and cognitive function.

Additionally, Benzoylgomisin H has been studied for anti-cancer potential, demonstrating inhibition of growth in certain cancer cell lines in vitro, opening opportunities for further pharmaceutical research.
