Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in studies related to Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Shows activity in modulating neurotransmitter systems and has demonstrated acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effects in preliminary assays. Investigated for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a candidate for central nervous system-targeted therapeutics. Also studied for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in neuronal cell cultures.
