Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer agent. Shows activity in inhibiting specific kinases involved in cell signaling pathways, making it a candidate for targeted therapy in oncology. Also investigated for its role in modulating metabolic stability in drug design due to its isoxazole and benzamide structure, which enhances bioavailability and receptor binding. Employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to develop more effective derivatives with improved potency and selectivity.
