Used as a potent inhibitor in pharmaceutical research, particularly targeting enzymes involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Its structure allows high selectivity and binding affinity, making it valuable in the development of therapies for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. The compound is also employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates due to its favorable pharmacokinetic properties and metabolic stability. Its ester group facilitates cell permeability, enhancing in vitro and in vivo efficacy during preclinical testing.
