6-Hydroxycoumarin is a compound that functions as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and cellular assays. It is used to detect and measure the presence of metal ions, particularly iron, in biological samples. The compound chelates with metal ions, leading to a change in its fluorescence properties, allowing for the quantification of metal ion concentrations. 6-Hydroxycoumarin also acts as a photosensitizer in photodynamic, where it generates reactive oxygen species upon exposure to light, leading to cell death. It serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various agrochemicals due to its ability to undergo chemical transformations to yield diverse chemical structures. In a development setting, 6-Hydroxycoumarin is utilized for its role in fluorescence-based assays and as a starting material for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Its mechanism of action involves interactions with metal ions and light-induced generation of reactive oxygen species, making it versatile for various experimental applications.
