Picramic Acid is an important intermediate in organic synthesis and is in various scientific applications. It serves as a reagent in synthesizing dyes and agrochemicals. It finds application as an analytical reagent for detecting amino acids and proteins. Picramic Acid plays a role in the synthesis of polymers like polyurethanes and polyamides. It acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of melanin. Picramic Acid can also reduce the production of nitric oxide and inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids.
