Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. It serves as a building block for developing drugs targeting central nervous system disorders due to its structural similarity to known neuroactive agents. Its piperazine core enhances solubility and binding affinity to various receptors, making it valuable in the design of novel therapeutic agents. Also explored in the development of serotonin and dopamine receptor modulators for potential use in treating depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
