Used in phototherapy for skin disorders such as psoriasis and vitiligo due to its ability to intercalate DNA and become activated by ultraviolet A (UVA) light, enhancing skin repigmentation. Also studied for its antifungal and antimicrobial properties, particularly in natural product research. Shows potential in agricultural applications as a natural pesticide because of its photoactivated toxicity against insects and plant pathogens. Investigated for anticancer activity, where it induces cell death in certain tumor lines upon UVA exposure. Commonly found in plants like *Ammi majus* and used in herbal medicine formulations targeting skin health.
