Used in pharmaceutical research as a building block for synthesizing bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the development of compounds with potential neurological and anti-inflammatory activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the stability and polarity of the oxadiazole ring. Also utilized in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands, particularly in projects targeting central nervous system disorders. The hydrochloride salt form improves solubility and handling in aqueous reaction systems.
