Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of receptor antagonists and enzyme inhibitors. Shows potential in central nervous system drug discovery due to its structural affinity for modulating neurotransmitter receptors. Also employed in the preparation of novel heterocyclic compounds for screening in anti-inflammatory and anticancer studies. Its lipophilic benzyl and tetrahydroquinoxaline moieties enhance cell membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved bioavailability.
