DCVC is primarily used in research settings to study its toxicological effects, particularly on the kidneys. It serves as a model compound for investigating the mechanisms of nephrotoxicity, as it is known to cause damage to renal tubular cells. Researchers utilize DCVC to understand the biochemical pathways involved in toxin-induced kidney injury, including the role of metabolic activation and oxidative stress. Additionally, it is employed in studies exploring protective strategies or antidotes against chemical-induced renal damage. Its application is largely confined to experimental and academic studies rather than industrial or commercial use.
