Used in research for its potential antitumor and antimicrobial properties as a naphthoquinone derivative. Shows activity against certain cancer cell lines in vitro, making it a candidate for anticancer drug development. Also exhibits inhibitory effects on specific pathogenic microorganisms, suggesting possible use in antimicrobial therapies. Its quinone structure may contribute to redox-related biological activities. Currently studied primarily in preclinical settings to evaluate mechanism of action and therapeutic potential.
