Used in molecular biology research to study anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in cell models related to chronic diseases such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Demonstrates inhibition of proteins involved in inflammatory signaling, such as NF-κB and certain cytokines, thus having potential as a precursor for drugs treating chronic inflammatory conditions. Additionally, studied for antioxidant effects, which may help prevent cellular damage from oxidative stress. Also explored in skincare formulations for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce redness, soothe irritated skin, support skin barrier function, and potentially treat hyperpigmentation.
