Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential bioactive compound due to its structural similarity to natural cinnamoyl derivatives. Shows interest in studies related to neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Investigated for its ability to modulate enzyme activity involved in oxidative stress and neuronal degeneration. Also explored for use in the development of central nervous system agents owing to its lipophilic nature and potential blood-brain barrier permeability. Not used in consumer products or industrial applications; currently limited to laboratory and experimental settings.
