Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. It serves as a fluorogenic substrate for tyrosinase enzyme assays, enabling the study of melanin synthesis, pigmentation processes in skin, and related biochemical pathways. Additionally, it is effective in detecting metal ions such as aluminum and iron in solution, making it valuable for environmental monitoring and cellular imaging. The hydroxyl and trifluoromethyl groups enhance binding selectivity, stability in aqueous systems, and confer antioxidant properties that may reduce inflammation at the cellular level. Also employed in the development of sensors and assays for studying oxidative stress in biological samples, with potential applications in drug development.
