Used in pharmaceutical research as a potential intermediate for developing bioactive compounds, particularly in the study of enzyme inhibitors. Shows activity in preliminary assays related to anti-inflammatory and anticancer pathways due to its ability to interact with specific cellular targets. Also employed in the synthesis of novel amide-based derivatives for structure-activity relationship studies. Its aromatic and heterocyclic components enhance binding affinity in molecular design, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing lead compounds.
