Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Shows potential in the development of central nervous system agents due to its structural features that support receptor binding, particularly in serotonin and dopamine pathways. Employed in studies related to antidepressant and antipsychotic drug design. Its amide and pyrrolidine moieties enhance blood-brain barrier permeability, making it valuable in neuropharmacology. Also utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and selectivity of novel therapeutics.
