Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways. Shows potential as a scaffold in developing selective enzyme inhibitors, particularly in studies related to serotonin and dopamine modulation. Also employed in the design of novel sulfonamide-based therapeutics with enhanced blood-brain barrier permeability. Investigated for its role in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and metabolic stability in central nervous system drugs.
