Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antiparasitic agents, particularly in the development of drugs targeting nematode infections. Its structure supports activity against resistant parasite strains by enhancing cellular penetration and binding affinity to biological targets. Commonly employed in veterinary and agricultural formulations for parasite control due to its stability and efficacy at low concentrations. Also investigated for use in crop protection products because of its favorable environmental degradation profile and low mammalian toxicity.
