Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its ability to bind metal ions, particularly aluminum and zinc, enhancing detection sensitivity. Employed in studies of protein interactions and conformational changes because of its fluorescence quenching and energy transfer properties. Applied in antioxidant research for its free radical scavenging activity, making it useful in evaluating oxidative stress in cellular models. Utilized in dye-sensitized solar cells as a natural sensitizer to improve light absorption and electron transfer efficiency. Investigated for potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties in pharmaceutical research, especially in modulating signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis.
