Used as a potent antimicrobial agent, particularly effective against drug-resistant bacterial strains. Shows strong activity in inhibiting biofilm formation, making it valuable in treating persistent infections. Also investigated for antifungal applications, especially in topical formulations targeting dermatophytes. Exhibits promising anticancer properties by inducing apoptosis in tumor cells, with studies focusing on its role in breast and colon cancer lines. Its conjugated structure allows for fluorescence-based cellular imaging, supporting use in diagnostic probes. Currently explored in hybrid drug designs to enhance pharmacokinetics and target specificity.
