Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as a steroidal alkaloid derivative, this compound exhibits potential in modulating biological pathways related to inflammation and cell proliferation. It has been investigated for its activity in hormone-related therapies, particularly in targeting steroid receptors due to its structural similarity to endogenous steroids. Its pyridine-functionalized steroidal framework makes it a candidate for developing novel therapeutics in oncology and endocrinology. Additionally, it serves as a key intermediate in synthesizing analogs for structure-activity relationship studies, helping refine drug design for improved selectivity and efficacy.
