Used in organic synthesis as a fluorescent probe due to its strong emission under UV light, making it valuable in imaging and detection applications. Employed in photodynamic therapy research for its ability to generate reactive oxygen species when exposed to light. Acts as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Also utilized in the formulation of sunscreens and cosmetic products for its UV-absorbing properties, providing protection against skin damage. Shows potential in agrochemicals as a photostable additive that enhances the efficacy of certain pesticides under sunlight.
