Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of cardiovascular drugs and antihypertensive agents. It serves as a key building block in creating pyridazinone-based compounds that exhibit biological activity, including positive inotropic effects for treating heart failure. Also explored in agrochemical research for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its structural properties that influence enzyme inhibition in target organisms. Its derivatives are studied for their potential as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.
