Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly those targeting central nervous system receptors. Its structure allows for selective interactions with neurotransmitter pathways, making it valuable in the development of experimental neuropharmaceuticals. It has shown potential in studies related to anxiety, depression, and neurodegenerative disorders due to its ability to modulate receptor activity in brain tissue. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, helping refine drug candidates with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Not used in consumer products or industrial applications.
