Used in pharmaceutical research as a key scaffold for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the design of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure supports high binding affinity to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates. Also explored in agrochemicals for its potential to enhance compound stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its modifiable core and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
