Used primarily in biomedical research, this compound serves as a key reagent for studying lysyl oxidase inhibition, which plays a role in connective tissue disorders. It is also employed in the development of models for vascular and skeletal abnormalities, particularly in experimental toxicology. Due to its ability to interfere with collagen and elastin cross-linking, it finds application in studies related to tissue stiffness, arterial health, and bone development. Additionally, it has been explored in pharmaceutical research for understanding the mechanisms of fibrosis and related diseases.
