Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling systems and metal processing fluids due to its strong sulfur and nitrogen donor atoms that form protective layers on metal surfaces. Also investigated for its potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for transition metals, enabling catalytic applications in organic synthesis. Its thiocarboxamide groups contribute to high binding affinity with metal ions, making it useful in sensor design for metal ion detection. In pharmaceutical research, its structure resembles biologically active compounds, particularly in inhibiting certain enzymes related to inflammation or infection, with potential as a precursor for drug development. Laboratory studies show preliminary antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activities in certain cell types, suggesting use in developing new biocidal agents, though it remains in the research stage and is not commonly used in medicine.
