Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its hydrazide functional group allows for easy modification to form Schiff bases and other derivatives with enhanced pharmacological properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry research for designing new drug candidates targeting infectious diseases. Also investigated for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Shows promise in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes with catalytic or therapeutic applications.
