This compound is primarily used in research settings to study its potential as an inhibitor of specific signaling pathways, particularly those involving Akt kinases. Its application is focused on understanding its effects on cell proliferation and survival, making it valuable in cancer research. Scientists explore its ability to modulate cellular processes that are often dysregulated in tumor growth. Additionally, it serves as a tool compound in preclinical studies to evaluate its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, aiding in the development of targeted therapies for diseases like cancer and other conditions linked to abnormal kinase activity.
