Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive molecules. Shows potential in the development of enzyme inhibitors due to its structural similarity to known metabolic pathway modulators. Employed in the preparation of cyclohexene-based compounds with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, helping optimize drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its carboxylic acid and carbamoyl functional groups allow for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening.
