Used in research to modulate gene expression by inhibiting bromodomain-containing proteins, particularly BET family proteins. This compound shows potential in oncology studies due to its ability to suppress oncogenic transcription factors and disrupt cancer cell proliferation. It has been investigated in hematological malignancies and solid tumors for its anti-proliferative effects. Additionally, it is applied in epigenetic research to study chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Its selectivity makes it a valuable tool for probing BET protein functions in disease models.
