Used primarily in research settings to study thermogenic and metabolic effects, this compound has been investigated for its potential to influence fat metabolism and muscle growth. It has drawn interest in biochemical studies exploring beta-2 adrenergic receptor activation, which plays a role in bronchodilation and metabolic stimulation. Due to its structural properties, it has also been utilized as a reference standard in analytical testing to detect misuse in livestock or doping in sports. Not approved for human or veterinary use, its application remains confined to laboratory and forensic analysis.
