Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant properties. It shows promise in studies related to pain modulation, central nervous system disorders, and antimicrobial activity, including inhibition of certain bacterial growth. Investigated for possible use in developing treatments for neurodegenerative conditions due to its interaction with neuronal signaling pathways, infectious diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions, and anti-cancer applications, particularly by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation at the cellular level.
