Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Saudin has shown a hypoglycemic effect in an rodent model experiment.[2]

Because of the unusual chemical structure and its potential biological activity, there has been research aimed at its total synthesis.[3][4][5][6][7]
