Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of flavonoid-based drugs, particularly those targeting inflammation and oxidative stress-related diseases. Shows potential in the development of anticancer agents due to its ability to modulate enzyme activity involved in cell proliferation. Also investigated for its neuroprotective properties, making it relevant in studies on neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Its hydroxyl and fluorophenyl groups enhance binding affinity to biological targets, improving therapeutic efficacy in drug design.
