Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antiparasitic and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules by providing a stable hydrazine-carboximidamide core that can be modified for enhanced binding and selectivity. Commonly employed in research settings for designing new drug candidates targeting protozoal infections. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to form derivatives with biological activity.
