Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of selective kinase inhibitors. Shows potential in the development of targeted cancer therapies due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation. Also explored for use in central nervous system agents owing to its structural rigidity and capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier. Its heterocyclic framework makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug-like properties such as metabolic stability and binding affinity.
