Used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research due to its structural similarity to lignans, which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties. Shows promise in studies related to hormone-related cancers, particularly breast and prostate, by modulating estrogenic activity. Also investigated for hepatoprotective effects and ability to inhibit oxidative stress in cellular models. Its presence in certain medicinal plants suggests a role in traditional medicine extracts aimed at immune support and chronic disease prevention. Currently explored as a natural compound for functional foods and dietary supplements targeting metabolic and age-related disorders.
