Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Shows potential in the development of novel therapeutics for neurological conditions due to its structural affinity with receptor modulators. Also employed in the design of selective enzyme inhibitors, particularly in studies related to kinase and protease activity. Its hydrochloride salt form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo testing. Investigated for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory applications in early-stage drug discovery programs.
