Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of serotonergic agents targeting central nervous system disorders. It plays a role in the preparation of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and related antidepressant drugs due to its structural compatibility with neurotransmitter receptor binding. Its sulfonamide and amide functionalities enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Also investigated for potential anticonvulsant and anxiolytic properties in preclinical research.
