Isookanin is used in pharmaceutical research for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows potential in the development of treatments for skin disorders due to its ability to inhibit certain enzymes involved in inflammation. Additionally, it has been studied for its role in suppressing the growth of some cancer cell lines, making it a compound of interest in oncology-related research. Its natural origin also makes it a candidate for inclusion in cosmetic formulations aimed at reducing oxidative stress and aging in the skin.
