Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential scaffold for developing bioactive molecules, including anticancer agents, antimicrobial compounds, and substances affecting the central nervous system. Shows promise in the design of anticancer agents due to its ability to interfere with cell proliferation pathways. Also investigated for antimicrobial properties, particularly against resistant bacterial strains. Its structural configuration allows for easy modification, making it valuable in synthesizing new drug candidates. Additionally, employed in materials science for developing organic semiconductors owing to its electron-deficient aromatic core.
