Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties, enabling detection of reactive oxygen species in living cells. Also applied in the development of chemosensors for metal ion detection, particularly copper and iron ions, in environmental and biological samples. Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of hydrazone-based pharmaceuticals with antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Additionally, utilized in electrochemical sensors for detecting hazardous compounds like nitroaromatics and hydrazine derivatives.
