Used in research for its potential antiproliferative properties, particularly in studies related to cancer cell lines. Shows activity in inducing DNA damage through topoisomerase inhibition, making it a subject of interest in the development of antitumor agents. Also investigated for its role in targeted protein degradation technologies, such as in the design of molecular glues and PROTACs, due to its ability to modulate specific protein-protein interactions. Its natural origin and stereochemistry contribute to its biological specificity, supporting exploration in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
