This compound is primarily utilized in research settings, particularly in the study of cancer biology. It functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of specific enzymes involved in cellular signaling pathways that are often dysregulated in cancer cells. By targeting these enzymes, it helps researchers understand the mechanisms of tumor growth and progression. Additionally, it is used in preclinical studies to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic agent for treating various types of cancers. Its application extends to the development of novel drug candidates aimed at disrupting cancer cell survival and proliferation.
