Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays due to its strong emission properties under UV light. It serves in the detection of metal ions, particularly aluminum and iron, in environmental and biological samples. Also investigated for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in pharmaceutical research. Acts as a scaffold in the synthesis of novel coumarin derivatives with potential therapeutic applications. Employed in studies related to enzyme inhibition, especially for enzymes involved in oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases.
