Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. It serves in the detection of metal ions, especially aluminum and zinc, in environmental and biological samples. Also employed in the development of sensors and imaging agents. Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Found in some cosmetic formulations for its optical brightening effects. Studied for potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in medicinal chemistry research.
