Used in biochemical research as a fluorescent probe for enzyme activity studies, particularly in detecting protease activity. The compound acts as a substrate that, when cleaved by specific enzymes, releases a detectable signal due to the furylacryloyl group’s fluorescence. This makes it valuable in assays for monitoring enzyme kinetics and inhibition in physiological and pharmacological studies. Also employed in developing diagnostic tools for diseases involving abnormal protease expression, such as cancer and inflammatory conditions.
