Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports the development of drugs targeting inflammation, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. The fluorinated indazole core enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to mimic purine moieties in enzyme inhibition.
