Used primarily as a potent antifungal agent, it effectively inhibits the growth of various fungal pathogens, making it valuable in agricultural settings to protect crops from fungal infections. Additionally, it has shown potential in medical research for developing antifungal therapies, particularly for treating infections resistant to conventional treatments. Its unique mechanism of action, targeting fungal cell integrity, offers a promising avenue for combating drug-resistant fungal strains. Research is ongoing to explore its broader applications in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
