Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It exhibits enzyme-inhibiting activity related to inflammation and shows effects in cellular models of oxidative stress, suggesting possible applications in developing anti-inflammatory drugs and protective agents for neurodegenerative conditions. Preliminary studies indicate antimicrobial activity, particularly against certain fungi. Additionally, it is studied for its role in plant defense mechanisms, which may inform agricultural strategies for natural pest resistance. Limited to laboratory use; not approved for pharmaceutical or commercial applications.
