Chitinase-IN-2 is primarily utilized in research settings to study the inhibition of chitinase enzymes. These enzymes play a critical role in the breakdown of chitin, a key component in the cell walls of fungi and exoskeletons of arthropods. By inhibiting chitinase activity, this compound helps researchers explore potential therapeutic strategies for fungal infections and pest control. It is also used to investigate the role of chitinases in inflammatory diseases and allergic responses, providing insights into new treatment pathways. Additionally, Chitinase-IN-2 serves as a valuable tool in agricultural research to develop eco-friendly solutions for managing crop pathogens and pests.
