Used in biochemical research for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, including the inhibition of chronic inflammation-related cells and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It shows potential as a lead compound for treating chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and diabetes, as well as metabolic disorders and liver protection. Studies have demonstrated its ability to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells, particularly lung and liver cancer cells in in vitro models. Additionally, it is investigated for neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative disease models and antimicrobial activity against select pathogens. Primarily utilized in pharmaceutical and biochemical research settings.
