Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Exhibits antimicrobial properties and has been studied for potential use in veterinary medicine as a growth promoter and prophylactic agent. Also serves in research for developing new quinoxaline-based derivatives with possible antitumor, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activities. Its derivatives are explored in agrochemicals for crop protection due to their ability to interfere with microbial metabolism in pathogens.
