Used in research for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and modulate pathways involved in neuronal survival and inflammation. Investigated for anti-aging properties due to its impact on cellular senescence and oxidative stress. Also studied in cancer research for its role in inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, especially in liver and breast cancer cell lines. Potential use in metabolic disorders due to its influence on insulin signaling and glucose uptake.
