Used in research as a fluorescent probe for detecting amyloid aggregates in neurodegenerative disease studies. Shows strong binding affinity to beta-amyloid plaques, making it useful in imaging and diagnostic applications for Alzheimer's disease. Also investigated for its potential in cellular staining due to its ability to cross cell membranes and emit detectable fluorescence in biological environments. Exhibits good photostability and selectivity in complex tissue samples, supporting its use in histology and microscopy.
