Used as a starting material or intermediate in the development of drugs affecting the central nervous system, particularly in research on anti-epileptic medications and novel analgesics. This compound exhibits inhibition of T-type calcium ion channels, which are involved in regulating neural signaling, conferring potential for developing treatments for neurological disorders such as epilepsy, chronic pain, and migraines. Some studies have also identified its possible effects in reducing neuroinflammation, and it is currently under further investigation to assess safety and efficacy for human use.
