Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. Commonly employed in the detection of enzyme activity, particularly esterases and glucuronidases, where it acts as a fluorogenic substrate. Upon enzymatic cleavage, it releases a highly fluorescent product that can be easily measured, enabling sensitive monitoring in cellular assays and diagnostic kits. Also utilized in environmental studies for metal ion sensing, especially for aluminum and zinc, based on fluorescence enhancement in the presence of these ions. Its photostability and low toxicity make it suitable for imaging in biological systems. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fluorescent dyes and pharmaceuticals.
