Used in research for its potential anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties, particularly in studies related to cancer cell inhibition. Shows activity in modulating cellular pathways involved in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Investigated for use in natural product-based drug development due to its triterpenoid structure, which may interact with biological targets such as enzymes and receptors involved in disease progression. Also explored for its role in phytochemical analysis and as a marker compound in plant extracts.
