Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Shows activity in modulating neuronal ion channels, which may contribute to its observed effects on reducing neuronal excitotoxicity. Investigated for possible anti-inflammatory effects in central nervous system tissues. Due to its natural origin and structural complexity, it serves as a lead compound in the development of novel therapeutics targeting neurological disorders. Currently limited to preclinical studies with no clinical applications established.
