Used in biochemical research for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties. It shows potential in inhibiting inflammation-related enzymes such as cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX), particularly in the development of drugs from natural plant extracts. Studies demonstrate anti-cancer activity in certain tumor cell lines by promoting apoptosis and inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation, making it of interest in pharmaceutical development. Additionally, it is investigated for its role in plant defense mechanisms, suggesting applications in agricultural chemistry as a natural pest deterrent and bioactive agent in health products.
