Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory agents and X-ray contrast media. Its structure, featuring two acetamido groups at the 3,5-positions of benzoic acid, supports conjugation and derivatization for targeted drug design. Also employed in research for developing compounds with enhanced bioavailability and stability, leveraging its suitable water solubility and molecular stability for oral and injectable formulations.
