Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, particularly for targeting protein kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation. Shows potential in developing treatments for neurological disorders due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Also employed in the design of selective probes for studying enzyme activity in cellular systems. Its bromo and amine functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug discovery.
