Used in research for its potential neuroprotective properties, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Shows antioxidant activity by reducing oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Investigated for anti-inflammatory effects in brain tissue, possibly modulating signaling pathways like NF-κB. Also studied for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a candidate for central nervous system drug development. Limited to preclinical studies; not used in clinical medicine.
