Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential antitumor agent, particularly studied for its activity against leukemia and colon cancer cell lines. Shows inhibitory effects on specific kinases involved in cell proliferation, making it a candidate for targeted cancer therapy development. Also investigated for anti-inflammatory properties due to modulation of cytokine production in cellular models. Its structure supports blood-brain barrier permeability, suggesting possible central nervous system applications in neurodegenerative disease research.
